Opis

First published in 1997, this book identifies the problems that face black women in the criminal justice system as the result of the articulation of unequal and oppressive class, race and gender relations; the research aims to be aware of all three rather than prioritizing, isolating or reducing one or two of these relations.

Recenzje

’This book will have broad appeal. Those who specialize in race, class and gender issues will enjoy Agozino’s articulations and reconceptualizations. Race and crime scholars familiar with colonial model analyzes...and the black ethnic heterogeneity paradigm...will appreciate the focus on Britain...Lastly, the book is a welcome addition to comparative criminology.’ Women and Criminal Justice ’I applaud Professor Agozino’s endeavour and accomplishment...I recommend this book to students of criminology and especially to those interested in examining women and crime issues.’ Social Pathology
