The second edition of Gender and Crime offers a twenty first century update on the topic of gender and crime. The authors demonstrate the ongoing relevance of feminist criminology and gender to issues of crime, criminalisation and criminal justice.

Gender & Crime: A Human Rights Approach is not merely another book on criminology. It is also a necessary stocktaking of the evolution of gender issues within human rights policies and the general economic, political, social and cultural contexts of Britain, Europe and worldwide.
