Book Description Softcover. Condition: new. First Edition. The possibility of being a victim of a crime is ever present on my mind thinking about it as natural as breathing40yearold womanThis is a compelling analysis of how women in the United States perceive the threat of crime in their everyday lives and how that perception controls their behavior Esther Madriz draws on focus groups and indepth interviews to show the damage that fear can wreak on women of different ages and socioeconomic backgrounds Although anxiety about crime affects virtually every woman Madriz shows that race and class position play a role in a womans sense of vulnerabilityFear of crime has resulted in public demand for stronger and more repressive policies throughout the country As funds for social programs are cut Madriz points out those for more prisons and police are on the increase She also illustrates how media images of victimsgood victims arent culpable bad victims invite troubleand a tough political stance toward criminals are linked to a general climate of economic uncertainty and conservatismMadriz argues that fear itself is a strong element in keeping women in subservient and selflimiting social positions Policing themselves they construct a restricted world that leads to positions of even greater subordination Being a woman means being vulnerable Considering the enormous attention given to crime today including victims rights and use of public funds Madrizs informative study is especially timely.
