This collection of essays re-imagines the field of criminology with insights gleaned from feminist theory. Factors such as gender, patriarchy and other systems of oppression such as race and class are highlighted as essential to an understanding of crime problems and the criminal justice system. The articles also reflect the feminist concern that all research should have the crucial goal of producing knowledge that will promote social justice.
