Women, Crime, and the Criminal Justice System: 3 & 4

From an interview with the wrongly-accused Betty Tyson to an analysis of "Prime Suspect 2," this issue explores the increasing visibility of women--as offenders, victims, and criminal justice professionals--in the field of criminal justices studies. Topics include mandatory sentencing laws, the war on drugs, the motivations of Andrea Yates, and the then-recent HIV epidemic facing incarcerated women. Creative works and resources for teaching and learning more about women and crime are included.
