Overview
Feminist criminological approaches, contemporary debates around gender and justice, and critical examination of traditional and alternative responses.
This paper explores victimisation, criminalisation, the operation of criminal processing systems and alternative possibilities from feminist criminological perspectives. This paper begins by exploring the development of feminist and intersectional criminological research. This module will explore how academic understandings of crime and justice are developed and discuss the androcentric history of criminological research. We will then explore key contemporary debates in feminist criminology. We will conclude the paper with an exploration of alternative models of justice and alternative perspectives on gender and crime.
This paper can be taken at both 200- and 300- levels. All students attend the same lecture. The 300-level students have their own tutorial stream and set of assessment tasks.
