Feminist criminological approaches, contemporary debates around gender and justice, and critical examination of traditional and alternative responses.
This paper will engage in a critical exploration of theoretical and policy debates
in criminology and in the criminal justice system, with an explicit focus on issues
of gender and gendered violence. We will explore critical criminological approaches
and feminist perspectives, using these to study a range of issues: sex work, trafficking,
prisons, restorative justice and online harassment.
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.
