Encyclopedia of Women and Crime (Hardcover)

Since the beginning of time, crime has touched women in many ways. The Encyclopaedia of Women and Crime is the first reference work to make the history, scope and nature of women and crime available to a wide audience. It covers a period starting in the mid-19th century, including: offenders, offences and theories on offending; victims and theories about victims; the criminal justice system (policing, courts and case processing); and punishment and treatment.
