This book deals with issues of crime against women and some issues of women in crime. In doing so, it questions the distinction drawn between victims and criminals in crime, specially as seen when studying men and crime. The articles in the book are a comment on our social system and the space it allows women. Where stand to benefit from violent criminal image which may add to their sense of manhood women if so identified, on the contrary are striped of all feminist identity and made more vulnerable thereof.

It is also a challenge continuously faced by administrators and developers.
It is hoped that these observations will help better und place the debates on a more women friendly Dias. |
