Gender-Based Crime: Learning Through Experts and Cases

Featuring contributed chapters written by professionals within the field along with in-depth cases written by the editor, Gender-Based Crime: Learning through Experts and Cases provides readers with a diverse and enlightening exploration of the interplay between gender, crime, offending, and victimization. The book also explores how to deal with gender-based crime through criminal justice and alternative approaches.

The text is organized into three distinct sections. Part I, Gender and Offending, discusses juvenile sex trafficking in the U.S.; gender and mass shootings; gender, homicide, and suicide; hazing in fraternities and sororities; and LGBTQ perspectives on crime and justice. In Part II, Gender and Victimization, readers learn about violence against transgender people in the U.S.; the experiences of young boys and men of color in urban spaces; separation and divorce violence against women; sexual violence on college campuses; and sexual harassment, gender, and the workplace. The final part, Criminal Justice and Alternatives for Gender-Based Harm, addresses the civil rights approach to gender-based harm, the restorative justice approach, community activism, and problems in the juvenile justice system.

Gender-Based Crime is part of the Cognella Series on Family and Gender-Based Violence, an interdisciplinary collection of textbooks edited by Claire Renzetti, Ph.D. The titles feature cross-cultural perspectives, cutting-edge strategies and interventions, and timely research on family and gender-based violence.
