The future of feminist criminology
This paper outlines the origins of feminist criminology, tracing them to the 1960s, especially the social and cultural shifts of that period and the student movement, noting that approaches such as new deviancy theory did not provide any answers to the questions raised by pioneers in the field. The history of feminist perspectives is summarised and claims are asserted that these are the most successful developments in criminology of the second ha…
The British Journal of Sociology at sixty
The British Journal of Sociology (BJS) turns 60 this year. To mark that diamond anniversary, the editors have chosen two articles from each of the Journal's six decades that, in their judgment, represent important contributions to sociology with continuing relevance today. Frances Heidensohn selected articles from the 1950s, Richard Wright took the 1960s, Fran Tonkiss, who originally suggested the idea, took responsibility for both the 1970s and …
The British Journal of Sociology in the 1950s
The 1950s was the BJS's first decade and, understandably, the papers which appeared during this period come closest to representing what the founding editors expected when they established it. The most striking feature I observed when I surveyed the full range of articles published during this period was how many would not now be defined as sociological, nor as having been written by sociologists. There are historians covering social history, suc…
On writing 'The deviance of women
The past is a foreign country: they do things differently there'- so begins L.P. Hartley's The Go-Between (1953), reminding readers how difficult it is to reconstruct aims and events even if we were participants in them ourselves. This opening line is evocative for the writing of this contribution for other reasons too: Hartley's young hero did not understand his own role in the plot of the novel and only comes to realize it later. My task here i…
Gender and Policing
Policing has experienced something of a crisis worldwide. With allegations of excessive use of force in the USA, corruption scandals in Australia, racial tensions in Britain and sex crimes in Belgium, never has it been under greater public scrutiny. Examination of police organizations through a gender looking-glass reveals the inadequacies of analyses offered by research approaches that left women out of the frame. This ambitious and ground-break…
Women and Crime
The last twenty years have seen an explosion of publishing by, about and for women. The list is designed to make a particular contribution to this continuing process by commissioning and publishing books which consolidate and advance feminist research and debate in key areas in a form suitable
Punish and Critique
From Being to Knowing
Recent feminist writings have been much preoccupied with epistemological questions. The notion of standpoint has, in particular, been a major focus of discussion. Aspects of this debate, especially as they relate to work on deviant women are outlined. It is suggested that the concept needs to be further analysed. Illustrative material from the author's own studies of 'deviant' women over a period of twenty years is cited in support of this view. …
We can handle it out here’. Women officers in Britain and the USA and the policing of public order’
Growing concern about female police officers being in the front line of violent confrontations and public order situations are noted. Drawing on a survey of fifty female officers from Britain and the USA, an analysis is presented of how these women reported handling violence and danger. British and American officers described very similar approaches. That US officers were armed did not appear to make much difference to their actions, although it …

Women in Control
Women in Control?
How far have women progressed in the `unfeminine' career of policing? How far do they want to go and how far will their male colleagues, and the public, let them? Women in Control? breaks new ground by discussing the role of women in relation to controlling crime and disorder. Since the early twentieth century, women have struggled to gain influence in policing, but progressed only slowly until the 1970s, when equal opportunities legislation brou…

Sex, crime and society
The relation between sex and crime is an important and significant one. Broadly speaking, recorded criminality varies notably according to sex, being at a much higher level among males than females. It is men who are largely responsible for the planning and execution of large-scale crimes such as robberies. Serious recidivism, which presents such a problem in terms of penal care and treatment, is almost exclusively a masculine phenomenon—in a rec…
Prison for Women
In discussing womens' prisons, both here and in the United States, Frances Heidensohn compares them with penal institutions for men, and explores the social and psychological needs of the female offender
Childbearing--Its Social and Psychological Aspects
The deviance of women
The purpose of this paper is quite simple: it is to focus on an obscure and largely ignored area of human behaviour, namely deviance in women. It is suggested. that the problems associated with this neglect may, in themselves, be interesting from a sociological point of view. that the topic has both intrinsic interest for the sociologist today and that it has wider relevance to, for example, aspects of social structure. that, in so far as it is a…
