      abstract = {This book introduces the concept of how gender shapes our  understanding of every aspect of crime. Moving beyond  criminological theories and research that have often  neglected gender, this book shows that gender is central to  the definition, prosecution, and sentencing of crimes, that  it shapes how victimization is experienced and understood,  and that it structures the institutions of the criminal  justice system and the experiences of workers within that  system.  Discussing the intersections of race, class,  gender, and sexuality with crime and punishment, this book  demonstrates that crime, victimization, and crime control  are never generic, they are instead produced and  experienced by gendered (and race, and classed, and  sexualized) actors within contexts of social inequality.  This book highlights key concepts and encourages critical  thinking through a range of real-life examples, from school  violence to corporate crime.},
