This book addresses the complex questions that arise regarding female offenders and criminal justice policy. It raises serious questions about current criminal justice policy and practice which ignore gender as well as practices that have been widely accepted by mainstream criminologists, policy-makers, and practitioners without regard for their implications for women and girls. Also discussed are the special circumstances faced by female offenders and the "equal treatment" tradition that has guided criminal law and practice for the past century generating the phenomenon known as "vengeful equity." Gendered Justice challenges mainstream policies of "gender neutrality" in terms of their implications for women and girls in conflict with the law. With the dramatic rise of women and girls in the criminal justice system, gender-based issues are now receiving attention in the U.S., Canada, the United Kingdom, and elsewhere.
