 Call for Papers+ Submit hereFeminist Criminology is an innovative journal that is dedicated to research related to women, girls, and crime within the context of a feminist critique of criminology. Published five times a year by SAGE Publications as the official journal of the Division on Women and Crime of the American Society of Criminology, this international publication focuses on research and theory that highlights the gendered nature of crime. The feminist critique of criminology incorporates a perspective that the paths to crime differ for males and females. Therefore, research that uses sex as a control variable often fails to illuminate the factors that predict female criminality. Feminist Criminology provides a venue for articles that place women in the center of the research question, answering different questions than the mainstream approach of controlling for sex. Feminist Criminology features research utilizing both quantitative and qualitative methodology and includes insightful topics such as Race, Ethnicity, and Gender Diversity in the Study of Women and Crime Cross-Cultural / International Perspectives on Women and Crime Women Working in the Criminal Justice Profession How Women Offenders Are Treated in the Criminal Justice System Girls and Women as Victims Feminist Theories of CrimeGirls, Women and the Justice System
