註釋

Covering the subject of crime committed by women and girls in Canada, this introductory text examines the nature and extent of female crime, and provides an overview of theories explaining it as well as the Canadian justice system's response to it. Special attention is given to the relationship between women's victimization and their subsequent offending, as well as the role of the media in shaping public perceptions of the crime problem. The final chapter considers new approaches to the control and prevention of female crime in Canada. Each chapter includes discussion questions, problem-solving scenarios and a selection of suggested readings.
