Biography
Karen Evans is a senior lecturer in the Department of Sociology, Social Policy and Criminology at the University of Liverpool, UK. Karen has published, researched and taught in the area of Gender and Crime for more than ten years.
"Gender responsive justice has evolved in response to the historical neglect of women in criminological theory and practice. However, as this important and timely book indicates, this development has also been associated with an expansion of social control over women. In charting the historical and theoretical origins of gender responsive justice and its associated critiques, the author argues for a transformative approach to criminalised women that is informed by feminist scholarship and by the experiences of women themselves and that acknowledges their continued structural disadvantage and oppression."
