This module will examine the contribution that feminist criminology offers to criminological theory, whilst also examining the contribution of feminist scholars to research methodology across criminology and socio-legal studies. The module will begin by demonstrating gendered pathways into crime, including the relationships between the care and criminal justice system for women and girls, and the role of coercive control and domestic violence in both the criminalisation and victimisation of women. The module will progress by examining gendered experiences of punishment, from the perspective of those being punished and their partners. Women as perpetrators of law breaking, deviant and criminalised behaviours will also be examined. Here you will be challenged to think critically about what you already think you know about women, crime and deviance. Finally, the module will examine international perspectives in feminist criminology.
