Book Synopsis Razones y sinrazones para una criminología feminista by : Maqueda Abreu, María Luisa
Download or read book Razones y sinrazones para una criminología feminista written by Maqueda Abreu, María Luisa and published by Librería-Editorial Dykinson. This book was released on 2014-12-01 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro habla de la falta de empatía que la criminología convencional ha mostrado hacia las mujeres como sujetos de delito. Ignoradas, cuando no deformadas bajo una mirada interesadamente sexista, ellas han permanecido al margen de la evolución de las ideas acerca de la criminalidad y su definición, como seres natural y socialmente conformes. Concebido el delito como masculino, su desviación tenía que ser interpretada como signo de una anormalidad individual, fruto de disfunciones y patologías propias de su sexo, o de una socialización frustrada en los roles normativos de género destinados a asegurar su vinculación al espacio privado y a los dictados de una domesticidad y una pasividad impuestas. Desde el feminismo se hacía imprescindible elaborar un nuevo saber criminológico destinado a ofrecer un marco ideológico crítico con esa realidad simplista y exasperante, empeñada en una explicación ahistórica de la trasgresión femenina, sin referencia a las características estructurales de la sociedad y la cultura en que las mujeres están insertas, como si fueran seres excluidos del orden social y simples víctimas de una jerarquía sexual imposible de desafiar. Las páginas de este libro se proponen recorrer las trayectorias marcadas por ese pensamiento crítico para investigar, en nuestra realidad penal y penitenciaria, acerca de posibles procesos selectivos de criminalización que sitúen a las mujeres en una posición de desventaja y de discriminación que una criminología feminista deba desvelar, poniendo remedio a una ignorancia que dura ya demasiado tiempo. María Luisa Maqueda Abreu es Catedrática de Derecho Penal de la Universidad de Granada. Desde el año 1998 ha realizado investigaciones relacionadas con la violencia contra las mujeres, en particular, sobre malos tratos, tráfico, explotación sexual y prostitución. Ha participado asimismo en diversos proyectos de investigación relacionados con el género, la multiculturalidad y los colectivos en los márgenes (2005, 2010, 2012). Entre sus publicaciones más recientes sobre esos temas destacan: Prostitución femenina y control: una relación controvertida (1998); La violencia de género: entre el concepto jurídico y la realidad social (2006);¿Es la estrategia penal una solución a la violencia contra las mujeres?: algunas propuestas desde un discurso feminista crítico (2007); Prostitución, feminismos y derecho penal (2009). A propósito de la trata y de las razones que llevan a confundir a l@s inmigrantes con esclav@s (2009); 1989/2009: veinte años de “desencuentros” entre la ley penal y la realidad de la violencia contra las mujeres (2010); La trata sexual de mujeres: entre mitos y realidades (2011); El peso del género y otras identidades culturales en la criminalización de las mujeres (2014). Otras líneas de investigación recientes se orientan hacia materias de política criminal y criminología relacionadas con la expansión del control del delito y los jóvenes de la calle. Entre ellas: Políticas de seguridad y Estado de Derecho (2004); La expansión del control y la hipocresía de las leyes penales (2008); Aproximación a la violencia juvenil colectiva desde una criminología crítica (bandas, tribus y otros grupos de calle) (2010). En la actualidad trabaja sobre criminalización del espacio público.
Book Synopsis The Routledge Handbook of Women's Experiences of Criminal Justice by : Isla Masson
Download or read book The Routledge Handbook of Women's Experiences of Criminal Justice written by Isla Masson and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-10-25 with total page 643 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Handbook brings together the voices of a range of contributors interested in the many varied experiences of women in criminal justice systems, and who are seeking to challenge the status quo. Although there is increasing literature and research on gender, and certain aspects of the criminal justice system (often Western focused), there is a significant gap in the form of a Handbook that brings together these important gendered conversations. This essential book explores research and theory on how women are perceived, handled, and experience criminal justice within and across different jurisdictions, with particular consideration of gendered and disparate treatment of women as law-breakers. There is also consideration of women’s experiences through an intersectional lens, including race and class, as well as feminist scholarship and activism. The Handbook contains 47 unique chapters with nine overarching themes (Lessons from history and theory; Routes into the criminal justice system; Intersectionality; Sentencing and the courts and community punishments; Specific offences; Incarcerated women’s experiences; Mothers and families; Rehabilitation and reintegration; Practitioner relationships), and each theme includes contributions from different countries as well as the experiences of contributors from different stages in their own journey. International and interdisciplinary in scope, this Handbook is essential reading for scholars and students of criminology, sociology, social policy, social work, and law. It will also be of interest to practitioners, such as social workers, probation officers, prison officers, and policy makers.

Book Synopsis Cultural Expertise by : Livia Holden
Download or read book Cultural Expertise written by Livia Holden and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2020 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cultural expertise in the form of expert opinions formulated by social scientists appointed as experts in the legal process is not different from any other kind of expertise in court. In specialised fields of law, such as native land titles in America and in Australia, the appointment of social scientists as experts in court is a consolidated practice. This Special Issue focuses on the contemporary evolution and variation of cultural expertise as an emergent concept providing a conceptual umbrella for a variety of evolving practices, which all include use of the specialised knowledge of social sciences for the resolution of conflicts. It surveys the application of cultural expertise in the legal process with an unprecedented span of fields ranging from criminology and ethnopsychiatry to the recognition of the rights of autochthone minorities including linguistic expertise, and modern reformulation of cultural rights. In this Special Issue, the emphasis is on the development and change of culture-related expert witnessing over recent times, culture-related adjudication, and resolution of disputes, criminal litigation, and other kinds of court and out-of-court procedures. This Special Issue offers descriptions of judicial practices involving experts in local laws and customs and surveys of the most frequent fields of expert witnessing that are related with culture; interrogates who the experts are, their links with local communities, and also with the courts and the state power and politics; how cultural expert witnessing has been received by judges; how cultural expertise has developed across the sister disciplines of history and psychiatry; and eventually, it asks whether academic truth and legal truth are commensurable across time and space.
Book Synopsis The Oxford Handbook of Gender, Sex, and Crime by : Rosemary Gartner
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Gender, Sex, and Crime written by Rosemary Gartner and published by Oxford Handbooks. This book was released on 2014 with total page 745 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The editors, Rosemary Gartner and Bill McCarthy, have assembled a diverse cast of criminologists, historians, legal scholars, psychologists, and sociologists from a number of countries to discuss key concepts and debates central to the field. The Handbook includes examinations of the historical and contemporary patterns of women's and men's involvement in crime; as well as biological, psychological, and social science perspectives on gender, sex, and criminal activity. Several essays discuss the ways in which sex and gender influence legal and popular reactions to crime. An important theme throughout The Handbook is the intersection of sex and gender with ethnicity, class, age, peer groups, and community as influences on crime and justice. Individual chapters investigate both conventional topics - such as domestic abuse and sexual violence - and topics that have only recently drawn the attention of scholars - such as human trafficking, honor killing, gender violence during war, state rape, and genocide.

Book Synopsis The Cultural Defense by : Alison Dundes Renteln
Download or read book The Cultural Defense written by Alison Dundes Renteln and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2005 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Publisher's description: In a trial in California, Navajo defendants argue that using the hallucinogen peyote to achieve spiritual exaltation is protected by the Constitution's free exercise of religion clause, trumping the states' right to regulate them. An Ibo man from Nigeria sues Pan American World Airways for transporting his mother's corpse in a cloth sack. Her arrival for the funeral face down in a burlap bag signifies death by suicide according to the customs of her Ibo kin, and brings great shame to the son. In Los Angeles, two Cambodian men are prosecuted for attempting to eat a four month-old puppy. The immigrants' lawyers argue that the men were following their own "national customs" and do not realize their conduct is offensive to "American sensibilities." What is the just decision in each case? When cultural practices come into conflict with the law is it legitimate to take culture into account? Is there room in modern legal systems for a cultural defense? In this remarkable book, Alison Dundes Renteln amasses hundreds of cases from the U.S. and around the world in which cultural issues take center stage-from the mundane to the bizarre, from drugs to death. Though cultural practices vary dramatically, Renteln demonstrates that there are discernible patterns to the cultural arguments used in the courtroom. The regularities she uncovers offer judges a starting point for creating a body of law that takes culture into account. Renteln contends that a systematic treatment of culture in law is not only possible, but ultimately more equitable. A just pluralistic society requires a legal system that can assess diverse motivations and can recognize the key role that culture plays in influencing human behavior. The inclusion of evidence of cultural background is necessary for the fair hearing of a case.

Book Synopsis Transcultural Bodies by : Ylva Hernlund
Download or read book Transcultural Bodies written by Ylva Hernlund and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2007-06-07 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Female "circumcision" or, more precisely, female genital cutting (FGC), remains an important cultural practice in many African countries, often serving as a coming-of-age ritual. It is also a practice that has generated international dispute and continues to be at the center of debates over women's rights, the limits of cultural pluralism, the balance of power between local cultures, international human rights, and feminist activism. In our increasingly globalized world, these practices have also begun immigrating to other nations, where transnational complexities vex debates about how to resolve the issue. Bringing together thirteen essays, Transcultural Bodies provides an ethnographically rich exploration of FGC among African diasporas in the United Kingdom, Europe, and Australia. Contributors analyze changes in ideologies of gender and sexuality in immigrant communities, the frequent marginalization of African women's voices in debates over FGC, and controversies over legislation restricting the practice in immigrant populations.

This book was released on 2016-04-28 with total page 604 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume of the series was designed to provide a comprehensive primer on the existing best practices and emerging developments in the study and design research on crime and criminology. The work as a whole includes chapters on the measurement of criminal typologies, the offenders, offending and victimization, criminal justice organizations, and specialized measurement techniques. Each chapter is written by experts in the field and they provide an excellent survey of the literature in the relevant area. More importantly, each chapter provides a description of the various methodological and substantive challenges presented in conducting research on these issues and denotes possible solutions to these dilemmas. An emphasis was placed on research that has been conducted outside of the United States and was designed to give the reader a broader more global understanding of the social context of research. The goal of this volume is to provide a definitive reference for professionals in the field, researchers, and students. This volume in the Handbooks in Criminology and Criminal Justice series identifies the principal topical areas of research in this field and summarizes the various methodological and substantive challenges presented in conducting research on these issues. In each chapter, authors provide a summary of the prominent data collection efforts in the topical area, provide an overview of the current methodological work, discuss the challenges in the measurement of central concepts in the subject area, and identify new horizons emerging in data collection and measurement. We encouraged authors to discuss work conducted in an international context and to incorporate discussion of qualitative methodologies when appropriate.

Book Synopsis Female Circumcision by : Rogaia Mustafa Abusharaf
Download or read book Female Circumcision written by Rogaia Mustafa Abusharaf and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2013-03-01 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bolokoli, khifad, tahara, tahoor, qudiin, irua, bondo, kuruna, negekorsigin, and kene-kene are a few of the terms used in local African languages to denote a set of cultural practices collectively known as female circumcision. Practiced in many countries across Africa and Asia, this ritual is hotly debated. Supporters regard it as a central coming-of-age ritual that ensures chastity and promotes fertility. Human rights groups denounce the procedure as barbaric. It is estimated that between 100 million and 130 million girls and women today have undergone forms of this genital surgery. Female Circumcision gathers together African activists to examine the issue within its various cultural and historical contexts, the debates on circumcision regarding African refugee and immigrant populations in the United States, and the human rights efforts to eradicate the practice. This work brings African women's voices into the discussion, foregrounds indigenous processes of social and cultural change, and demonstrates the manifold linkages between respect for women's bodily integrity, the empowerment of women, and democratic modes of economic development. This volume does not focus narrowly on female circumcision as a set of ritualized surgeries sanctioned by society. Instead, the contributors explore a chain of connecting issues and processes through which the practice is being transformed in local and transnational contexts. The authors document shifts in local views to highlight processes of change and chronicle the efforts of diverse communities as agents in the process of cultural and social transformation.

Download or read book Genital Cutting and Transnational Sisterhood written by Stanlie Myrise James and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extrait de la couverture : "[This book] is a much-needed response to the ethnocentric and arrogant Western perceptions surrounding female genital cutting (FGC), often referred to as either female genital mutilation or female circumcision but including a variety of practices of varying history, severity, geographical distribution, and consequences. In five provocative essays, the contributors to this timely volume challenge representations of FCG. In doing so, they interweave a range of perspectives, including history, human rights, law ... Balancing feminist ideals with culturally conscious approaches, they dispel sensationalized and widely accepted concepts about FCG that influence Western media, law, and feminism thought."
