Explores how the interpretation and application of criminal law reflects assumptions about men’s and women’s natures, appropriate roles, and positions in society. Readings examine changes and stability in the prosecution of violence against women; the prosecution, sentencing, and correction of women offenders; women’s and men’s access to the profession of law and other legal positions; and conceptions of justice. Readings highlight how race, class, and gender intersect and how structure and interpersonal interaction contribute to observed outcomes.
