CJ 248 Women and Crime

This course provides students with a perspective on the role of gender in crime and punishment. There are patterned differences in the roles males and females perform in the criminal justice system, in the crimes men and women commit, and in the crimes that victimize men and women. This course examines these questions from a historical and contemporary perspective, analyzing the changing legal status of women and the institutional response to women and victims and criminals.
