Product description

Queer criminological work is at the forefront of critical academic criminology, responding to the exclusion of queer communities from criminology, and the injustices that they experience through the criminal justice system. This volume draws together both theoretical and empirical contributions that develop the growing scholarship being produced at the intersection of 'queer' and 'criminology'. 




Reflecting the diversity of research that is undertaken at this intersection, the contributions to this volume offer a deeper theoretical and conceptual development of this field alongside empirical research that illustrates the continued relevance and urgency of such scholarship. The contributions consider what it means to be queering criminology in the current political, social, and criminological climate, and chart directions along which this field might develop in order to ensure that greater social and criminal justice for LGBTIQ communities is achieved.

Bola's book on modern masculinity and its discontents is a well-rounded, convincingly argued and easy to follow introduction to gender studies. And while he pays particular attention to the ways in which men themselves are propagating and being harmed by patriarchy, lots of his arguments will be familiar to people with some knowledge of feminism and gender theory. The high rates of suicide among men should definitively be a cause for concern and this book makes a great case (albeit not a new one), that feminist goals are meant to help men too. My sincere hope is, that this easy-access approach from a male author will convince more people to engage with the subject.
Wo stehen wir auf dem Weg zu einem zarten und freien Miteinander? Welche Hindernisse versperren diesen noch? Wie können wir trotzdem diesen Weg gehen?

Carolin Wiedemann liefert eine kurze und dennoch überzeugende Analyse der historischen Ursprünge des Patriarchats einerseits, doch auch gegenwärtiger antifeministischer Bewegungen andererseits. Die Verstrickungen zwischen Neu-Rechten und dem Antifeminismus haben mich teilweise schaudern lassen.

Nachdem der vorangehende Teil des Buchs durchaus Verärgerung und Frust auslösen kann, folgt im weiteren Verlauf der sehr hoffnungsvolle Part. Queerfeministische Ideen und ihre Potenzial für ein freieres Miteinander werden vorgestellt. Für Verfechter:innen wie Gegner:innen feministischer Identitätspolitik kann das gleichermaßen aufschlussreich sein.

Wiedemann entlässt Lesende mit der Anregung, bestehende Ordnungen selbstbestimmt zu hinterfragen, ohne alles verwerfen zu müssen - dieser nicht-normative Ansatz hat mich sehr angesprochen.
