Feminist theories and methods are employed to redress inaccuracies, misperceptions and/or skewed representations of women evidenced within the criminological discipline and the criminal justice system. Course topics include: the development of feminist criminology, media representations of criminality and women, "gender-blind" criminal justice policies, and the gendered dimensions of criminal act commission, criminal justice processing, incarceration, and employment in the criminal justice system.
