Women and Crime (Cross-listed: SOCI 2204)

3 ch (3C) (W) · Undergraduate

Explore women's involvement in crime and the criminal justice system in Canada, and ways that criminological theories have been developed based on male-centered research, rendering women invisible or simply added to an existing approach without considering gender specificities. Understand the intersections of gender, race, ethnicity, and class inequality; how women become offenders and how they are treated within the criminal justice system; women as victims in the criminal justice system and how the criminal justice system has responded; and the roles of women working in the criminal justice system.
