About
Examines the extent of participation and the role of women in all aspects of the criminal justice system. Topics include women as offenders, victims, prisoners, parolees, probationers, and as professionals (law enforcement officers, lawyers, judges, and correction and parole officers) in the legal system. Readings are interdisciplinary and include an intersectional approach in recognition that the term "women" encompasses individuals from diverse race, ethnic, class, and sexual orientations. Professionals from criminal justice agencies may participate in class discussions.
