Queering Criminology in Theory and Praxis: Reimagining Justice in the Criminal Legal System and Beyond - Paperback

by Luca Suede Connolly (Contribution by), Rose Buckelew (Contribution by), Illandra Denysschen (Contribution by)

This accessible book introduces the key concepts and theoretical developments of queer criminology and explains what they mean for modern criminal justice frameworks and practitioners. The book sets out experiences of the LGBTQ+ population as victims, offenders and professionals in legal systems in the US and internationally and explores what they mean for elements of those systems including police, courts, corrections and victims' services. It is both a useful reference point for academics, students and professionals and a guide to how queer criminology can be theoretically applied and practically implemented in the worlds of policing, courts, corrections, and victims' services.
