Women and the Criminal Justice System “Just over ten years ago the Corston report highlighted that the prison system was largely designed by men for men. The papers included in this volume reflect on women’s experiences in the criminal justice system: they consider what has, or has not, been achieved in the period since Corston, the current state of play, and what we need to think about in terms of future strategies. Its focus is on women’s involvement in the criminal justice system as a whole, rather than being simply characterized as ‘victims’ or ‘offenders’. Written by both leading experts and those relatively new to the field, it provides a timely and refreshing perspective that will be of great interest to academics and policy makers alike. The insights contained in each of the papers underscore the need for women’s experiences to be at the centre of debates on crime and criminal justice policy.” —Jayne Mooney, John Jay College of Criminal Justice, USA
