Race, Gender, and Class in Criminology The Intersections

These original essays focus on class, race and gender as organizing and analytical concepts in criminology. For many years, their importance in studying how the world relates to crime and its control was minimized or ignored. It is clear, however, that these concepts are of critical importance in understanding societal issues, especially crime and societal responses to it. Featuring work by some of the most important scholars in critical criminology, this volume examines each of these important factors; their intersection and interrelationship. The result is an extraordinary volume that is a significant contribution to the field.Schwartz, Martin D. is the author of 'Race, Gender, and Class in Criminology The Intersections', published 1999 under ISBN 9780815337263 and ISBN 0815337264.
