Omschrijving
This book is a critical summary and exegesis of the work of Nicole Rafter. It introduces Rafter’s key works and assesses her contributions to the fields of feminist criminology, cultural criminology, and historical criminology, and explores her theorization of criminology’s identity, scientific status, and possible futures.
Nicole Hahn Rafter was a unique thinker in criminology. Everything she wrote was imbued with her sense of justice, her belief in the salience of gender, and her understanding of the vital importance of history. Burton’s work is must read for those seeking to understand the origins of feminist criminology.

Nicole Rafter, throughout her career, addressed crucial issues to which mainstream criminology paid far too little attention. They include genocide, gender and imprisonment, media, the link between criminology and eugenics, and criminology as a discipline. Chase Burton's well and intelligently written book makes Rafter’s work accessible to new generations of scholars, embedding it in a broad body of scholarship.
