Hello all,

I know these issues are relevant on many of your campuses. Please share
this CFP.

 

Special International Issue: 

Backlash and Gender-Relevant Crime Initiatives in Global Context

 

Special Issue Co-Editors:

Karen Joe Laidler, University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong

Ruth M. Mann, University of Windsor, Canada

 

Feminist Criminology invites manuscript submissions for a forthcoming 

Special Issue on the impacts of backlash on gender-sensitive policy 

responses to women's offending, women's imprisonment, and women's 

victimization. In particular, submissions on empirical research, 

theoretical analysis, and practice-oriented papers are sought that
address 

efforts by feminist academics, service providers, legal professionals,
and 

activists to come to terms with efforts by anti-feminist entities to 

discredit and reverse feminist-inspired policy on a range of criminal
and 

social justice initiatives. Both qualitative and quantitative
submissions 

are encouraged which draw from international, comparative or country
based 

data, including data from jurisdictions outside the United States. The
aim 

is to build understandings on what we see as an ongoing globalization of


backlash, so as to better counter its impacts on supports and services
for 

women victims and women offenders. Manuscripts should be submitted in 

electronic format, not exceeding 30 double-spaced typed pages, with a 

100-word abstract and a brief autobiographical sketch. Figures, tables
and 

references must be on separate pages and should follow the format 

specified in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological 

Association (5th Edition).  Deadline for submission is June 30, 2007.

 

Feminist Criminology is published four times annually [Sage].
Submissions 

for the special issue should be sent directly by email to 


 and 

 (Word file, identical versions).
A 

$10.00 submission fee is waived for international submissions.
