Women and the Criminal Justice System: Gender, Race, and Class is an essential text for teaching about women's issues within the criminal justice system.Split into three primary sections, van Wormer and Bartollas examine how women are treated within the criminal legal system as perpetrators of harm, victims of harm, and as employees within the system.The authors deftly discuss key topics such as the victim-offender overlap, the global nature of violence against women, the adultification of Black girls, and sexual harassment.The authors use case studies and provide examples of recent criminal events, making this book a compelling and accessible read.Students will enjoy learning from the book, and professors will enjoy teaching from it
