Queer Criminology (New Directions In Critical Criminology) - 9781138824379

La 4e de couverture indique : "This book explores the origins of queer criminology, surveys the foundational research and scholarship in this emerging field, and offers suggestions for the future. Examining the criminalization, policing, and correctional control of queer people, queer criminology synthesizes the work of specialists in the field to illuminate the historical and contemporary context of the queer experience. By highlighting a pattern of discriminatory, disproportionate, and abusive treatment of queer people by the criminal legal system, this book demonstrates the importance of developing a criminology that critiques the oppressive heteronormative systems around the world. This book is a vital contribution to the growing body of literature exploring the queer experience, and should be considered a necessary tool for students, scholars, and practitioners alike."
