<p>Studies of crime and criminology have traditionally focused on men, while women have either been overlooked or discussed only briefly and in stereotypical ways. Allison Morris' book considers all aspects of women and crime, scrutinizing the conventional accounts of women's criminality and the validity of mainstream criminological theories for women. Examining the roles of all women involved in crime and criminal justice - defendants and prisoners, victims and criminal justice professionals - she considers how far stereotypical conceptions of the roles of women affect responses to them in the criminal justice system. Dr Morris shows that an understanding of women's crime is of fundamental significance for criminology. This work should be of interest to students of criminology and women's studies.</p>

A Restorative Approach to Family Violence: Changing Tack

<p>This volume provides an essential update on current thinking, practice and research into the use of restorative justice in the area of family violence. It contains contemporary empirical, theoretical and practical perspectives on the use of restorative justice for intimate partner and family violence, including sexual violence and elder abuse. Whilst raising issues relating to the implications of reporting, it provides a fresh look at victims’ issues as well as providing accounts of those who have participated in restorative justice processes and who have been victims of abusive relationships. Contributions are included from a wide range of perspectives to provide a balanced approach that is not simply polemic or advocating. Rather, the book genuinely raises the issue for debate, with the advantage of bringing into the open new research which has not been widely published previously. Given its unique experience in the development of restorative justice, the book includes empirical studies relating to New Zealand, contextualized within the global situation by the inclusion of perspectives on practices in the UK, Australia and North America. This book will be key reading for people who work with violent offending of a family nature as well as for those who are interested in the study of family violence.</p>
