'Timely and trenchant, Roberts cogently demonstrates how primitive accumulation, punitive legislation and gendered oppressions are constitutive of capitalism's historical and contemporary practices - with corollary implications for centralizing gendered and racialized processes in analyses of, and struggles against, today's global lockdown.' - V Spike Peterson, University of Arizona, Tucson, USA 'In this fascinating study, Adrienne Roberts combines a historical analysis with the so called 'extra-economic' forms of coercion. As such it focuses on crime, criminalization, discipline and punishment from a feminist historical materialist perspective. By including these 'extra-economic forms' it sheds light on a largely neglected area in IPE of the increasing criminalization of poor women.' - Brigitte Young, University of Munster, Germany 'Powerfully argued, well documented, and treating a subject at the center of social activism and political debate, Adrienne Roberts' book is a major contribution to a feminist analysis of the disciplining of women in capitalist society.' - Silvia Federici, Hofstra University, USA
