Gender & Crime

How do the so-called shift to the political right and the ‘gender backlash’ affect gender, equality, and criminal law? This interdisciplinary edited volume brings together academic and practice-oriented perspectives and examines current debates surrounding gender relations and equality. The contributions address antifeminism, anti-queer sentiment, and various forms of gender-based violence. Among other issues, they analyze femicide, intimate partner violence, catcalling, and sexual violence. The volume highlights how social polarization and political debates shape existing inequalities and are increasingly reflected in criminal law and criminal justice policy.
