Intersectionality and Criminology: Disrupting and revolutionizing studies of crime: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Intersectionality and Criminology: Disrupting and revolutionizing studies of crime" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

The use of intersectionality theory in the social sciences has proliferated in the past several years, putting forward the argument that the interconnected identities of individuals, and the way these identities are perceived and responded to by others, must be a necessary part of any analysis. Fundamentally, intersectionality claims that not only are peoples lived experiences affected by their racial identity and by their gender identity, but that these identities, and others, continually operate together and affect each other.

With official statistical data that indicate people of Color have higher offending and victimization rates than White people, and with the overrepresentation of men and people of Color in the criminal legal system, new theories are required that address these phenomena and that are devoid of stereotypical or debasing underpinnings.

Intersectionality and Criminology provides a comprehensive review of the need for, and use of, intersectionality in the study of crime, criminality, and the criminal legal system. This is essential reading for academics and students researching and studying in the fields of crime, criminal justice, theoretical criminology, and gender, race, and socioeconomic class.

Hillary Potter has produced a groundbreaking volume that synthesizes - photo 1
Hillary Potter has produced a groundbreaking volume that synthesizes, complicates, and thrusts forward research in intersectional criminology. Race, class, gender, sexuality, and other social forces are decompartmentalized in order to gain a systematic understanding of crime, criminalization, the law, in/justice, and the research process. The discipline of Criminology has long marginalized intersectional approaches to research. This volume places intersectional research at front and center, establishing it as a key paradigm in the discipline and beyond; a must-read for every student trained in criminology.
Victor M. Rios, Department of Sociology, University of California Santa Barbara, USA
Hillary Potter makes a reflective, cogent, and compelling case for the value in fact, necessity of an interdisciplinary approach across criminology. An important read.
Katheryn Russell-Brown, Chesterfield Smith Professor of Law, and Director, Center for the Study of Race and Race Relations, University of Florida, USA
Potter has made a critically important contribution to feminist criminology and critical race theory. Intersectionality and Criminology fills a major gap in the literature and will leave readers better prepared to take up the issues of racism, gender oppression, class exploitation, transphobia, and other manifestations of structural inequality in our study of crime and work for justice.
Beth E. Richie, Professor, University of Illinois at Chicago, USA

New Directions in Critical Criminology
Edited by Walter S. DeKeseredy,
West Virginia University, USA
This series presents new cutting-edge critical criminological empirical, theoretical, and policy work on a broad range of social problems, including drug policy, rural crime and social control, policing and the media, ecocide, intersectionality, and the gendered nature of crime. It aims to highlight the most up-to-date authoritative essays written by new and established scholars in the field. Rather than offering a survey of the literature, each book takes a strong position on topics of major concern to those interested in seeking new ways of thinking critically about crime.

Contents
My journey to completing this book has not been an easy one. I was faced with personal and professional dilemmas that continually interrupted my mental and temporal ability to complete this piece. While this book does not serve as the definitive or ultimate treatise on intersectionality within the field of criminology, the tribulations I endured during the composition of the book proved to be good fodder for my conceptualization of intersectional criminology.
