Abstract:

Criminological theory and research has historically focused on explaining how people get into crime and much less on how and why they stop, despite the perennial finding that most of those with convictions do eventually stop offending. The very meaning of ‘desistance’ however has been much contested, yet has broadly been linked with themes such as maturity, adult social bonds, agency, identity and hope (Bottoms et al, 2004). Even more concerning, however, is the further marginalisation of already marginalised groups within the vast majority of desistance literature. The bulk of research in thi

Abstract:

This research explores whether women offenders who committed property crimes suffer from feminization of poverty, and social deprivations as asserted by the economic marginalization theory. Social deprivations include being a single parent with dependent children at home, being the main financial supporter of a household and being primary caretaker to minor children.

Also examined is how contemporary writers of crime fiction might best use the resources offered by criminological research. I chose to write a historical rather than contemporary novel about criminology to explore the influence that historical ideas about crime might have on the way we perceive it today; to examine, challenge and critique dominan

Abstract:

This thesis brings together eighteenth-century attitudes to the abduction of women portrayed by the law, by newspapers, and in fiction. I focus attention on the interest these different forms of narrative share in scrutinizing women’s behaviour and argue that the abduction plot is more important than its status as a stock literary convention would imply. Rather, it is a pliant, complex, and nuanced motif that allows writers the space to explore the difficult and contradictory position of women and attitudes to sexual relations.

Abstract:

Historians of English crime and criminal justice agree that females are more leniently treated by the criminal justice system. Fewer females are prosecuted for unlawful activities, and, when they are, they are more readily acquitted, or receive lighter sentences than males. However, reasons for this remain elusive. References to the paternalism of those involved in the system, together with notions about masculinity and femininity in a patriarchally ordered society, have been offered in the absence of other more focused and systematic evidence.;This thesis follows a systematic enquiry about th

Abstract:

This thesis challenges the traditional view of the 'femme fatale' as merely a dangerous and ravenous sexual predator who leads men into ruination. Critical, especially feminist, scholarship mostly regards the femme fatale as a sexist construction of a male fantasy and treats her as an expression of misogyny that ultimately serves to reaffirm male authority. But this thesis proposes alternative ways of viewing the femme fatale by showing how she can also serve as a figure for imagining female agency. As such, I focus on a particular character type that is distinct from the general archetype of

Abstract:

Late-nineteenth and early twentieth-century Dundee had a strikingly large female workforce and this fact has attracted much scholarly attention.

This study looks at female criminality in Dundee 1865–1925. It finds that drunkenness, breach of the peace and theft were the leading female offences and that the women most strongly associated with criminality belonged to the marginalised sections of the w

This change reflects the interplay of the behavioral change and the net-widening effect.

Notably, a key factor contributing to the sexual exploitation of children in today’s society is the Internet.

Abstract:

Denna text är utformad som en kollektivbiografi över tio kvinnor som var frihetsberövade någon gång under åren 1850-1905. Syftet med texten är att undersöka vilka faktorer som möjliggjorde återanpassningen till samhället för kvinnor som avtjänat straff, samt vilka faktorer som påverkade risken för återfall i brottslighet. Orsaken till att undersökningen enbart fokuserar på kvinnliga förbrytare är att kvinnor inte var rättsligt jämställda med män, vilket rimligtvis torde ha försvårat deras återanpassning ytterligare.

Abstract:

Este trabalho teve como objetivo principal compreender quais elementos pautaram os projetos e as práticas das prisões femininas brasileiras, no final da década de 30 e início dos anos 40. Buscou-se verificar em que medida prescrições de pensamentos criminológicos em voga, como o Direito Penal Clássico que indicava a pena para expiação da culpa e via o crime como uma escolha do indivíduo e da Antropologia Criminal para quem o homem nascia delinquente e a pena deveria ser medida médica para curar criminosos estiveram presentes na caracterização da delinqüência feminina e no cotidiano dessas
