Gender, Crime and Justice

About this subject

  • The subject provides students with an opportunity to study an important and well-documented “fact” in criminology: crime and criminal justice is highly gendered. The aims of the subject are:

    1. To explore the persistent and profound differences between men and women in crime rates and patterns; victimisation rates and patterns; and criminal justice system experiences and responses
    2. To introduce students to a critical understanding of explanations for these continuing gendered differences
    3. To expose students to the way in which gender intersects with Indigeneity, social class and sexual orientation to shape offending, victimisation and criminal justice system responses and experiences.
