Proceedings of the workshop held at the Tenth United Nations Congress on the Prevention of Crime and the Treatment of Offenders. The involvement of women in crime and in the criminal justice system is growing. While the increasing presence of women as victims and offenders, as well as criminal justice practitioners, has triggered more attention from the research and policy communities, the number and complexity of the issues involved requires that still greater attention be paid to them. Much better understanding of these issues, and concerted action to resolve them, are required to help over come the historically marginal status of women and their often unfair treatment in the criminal justice system. A workshop, with 4 modules, was during the 10th United Nations congress on the prevention of crime and the treatment of offenders (Vienna, Austria, April 200). |
