Crime & criminology

Series: New Directions in Critical Criminology

"The use of intersectionality theory in the social sciences has proliferated in the past several years, putting forward the argument that the interconnected identities of individuals, and the way these identities are perceived and responded to by others, must be a necessary part of any analysis. Fundamentally, intersectionality claims that not only are people’s lived experiences affected by their racial identity and by their gender identity, but that these identities, and others, continually operate together and affect each other.

With ""official"" statistical data that indicate people of Color have higher offending and victimization rates than White people, and with the overrepresentation of men and people of Color in the criminal legal system, new theories are required that address these phenomena and that are devoid of stereotypical or debasing underpinnings.

Intersectionality and Criminology provides a comprehensive review of the need for, and use of, intersectionality in the study of crime, criminality, and the criminal legal system. This is essential reading for academics and students researching and studying in the fields of crime, criminal justice, theoretical criminology, and gender, race, and socioeconomic class."

Reviews for Intersectionality and Criminology: Disrupting and revolutionizing studies of crime

'I believe that this book will be uniquely positioned to help graduate and advance undergraduate students expand their understanding of crime and criminality across gender, race/ethnicity, and social class.' - Delores Jones-Brown, Professor, John Jay College of Criminal Justice, City University of New York 'The voices of individuals with multiple marginalized social locations have been silenced within the rhetoric of mainstream criminology. Potter's book is drawing attention to this overlooked area of criminology.' - Rebecca Hayes, Assistant Professor, Central Michigan University
