Document Summary

Contemporary criminologists (freda adler, rita simon, carol smart) 80s & 90s marxist feminism (john hagan; martha fineman, ngaire naffine; edwin schur, nanette davis, Feminist criminology brought gender back into the equation of crime. In the 1970s and 1980s, the emergence of feminist criminology was one of the most important in providing a shift in focus (feminist criminology accomplished a lot in a short period of time) Theories about crime/transgressive behaviour are man-made (constructed by man, based upon a on disproportionate amount of men studying the behaviour of male subjects-> male researchers studying male criminals) Feminist criminology is not about bashing men, but just about bringing gender back into the equation. Results from men studying men (half the population) are not recognizing the gender dynamic, the female population (the other half), yet they are generalizing it to account for the behaviour of all the population.
