Summary: "This book presents contemporary feminist approaches to key issues in criminal justice. It draws together key researchers from Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand to offer a context-specific textbook that covers all of the major debates in the discipline in an accessible way. This book examines both the foundational texts and cutting-edge contributions to the topic and acknowledges the unique challenges and debates in the local Australian and Aotearoa New Zealand context. Written as an entry-level text, it introduces undergraduate students to key theories, research and and debates on the topics of offending, victimisation and the criminal justice system. It explores key topics in feminist criminology with chapters exploring sex work, prison abolitionism, community punishment, media representations of crime and victims, and the impacts of digital technology on gendered violence. Centring on an intersectional approach, the book includes chapters that focus on disability, queer criminology, Indigenous perspectives, migration and service-user perspectives. The book concludes by exploring future directions in feminist approaches to crime and justice."--Back cover
