Contemporary Intersectional Criminology in the UK: Examining the Boundaries of Intersectionality and Crime

This edited collection showcases contemporary criminological studies that utilize intersectional frameworks. The collection highlights the utility of the concept of intersectionality and also addresses the current gap in literature on applying intersectionality to contemporary criminological studies in particular. Criminology as a discipline has been slow to employ the application of intersectionality to research, analysis and theory, and yet these chapters demonstrate the contribution it makes to our understanding of victims, perpetrators and social structures. It is at the forefront of feminist studies and this collection offers the opportunity for a long-overdue recognition of it within criminology. This edited collection therefore addresses a topical issue and serves as a strong reminder and evidence that identities cannot be reduced and understood along a single axis.
