These 12 papers examine women and criminal justice education, with emphasis on curriculum, teaching, and scholarship as gender-related issues and the status of women as students, faculty members, and topics in textbooks.
Abstract
Individual papers focus on feminist perspectives and the criminal justice curriculum, the recent recommendation to create a "cultural literacy" in criminology and criminal justice, and areas involved in changing the criminal justice curriculum and classroom to make them more inclusive of issues and concerns related to women and minorities. Other papers discuss stereotypes in women and blacks in textbooks on criminology, criminal justice, and corrections and in criminal justice journals; sexual harassment of students and faculty members; affirmative action programs; and feminist discussion of research methodologies. A documentary film focusing on female terrorists who are prison inmates is also discussed. Tables, figures, footnotes, and chapter reference lists
