Biography
Jeffery P. Dennis is an Assistant Professor of Corrections at Minnesota State University, Mankato, USA. His research interests include LGBT issues in criminology and corrections and juvenile delinquency among LGBT youth. His books include Queering Teen Culture (2006) and We Boys Together: Teenagers in Love Before Girl-Craziness (2007).
"This book is a major achievement. Drawing from an incredible array of sources, including academic research, literature, and popular culture, Jeffrey P. Dennis paints a vivid portrait of the queer criminal, detailing the many guises in which queer criminality has appeared for over a century, up to the present day. Ambitious in scope, The Myth of the Queer Criminal provides a significant contribution to the queer criminological literature and to LGBT studies, and is necessary reading for those interested in the social and legal regulation of queer people."
