Employing a gender-inclusive and intersectional feminist lens, this textbook critically explores contemporary issues surrounding gender, crime, and justice. It integrates films, television, and documentaries to illustrate criminological concepts, covering topics such as interpersonal violence, sex work, street crime, and the justice system. The book also addresses powerful crimes, policing, and punishment, culminating in discussions on extreme punishment and abolitionist futures. It serves as a valuable resource for students and academics in criminology, sociology, and gender studies.

Founded in cultural, textual, and ethnographic analysis, this distinctive and engaging book proposes an imaginative criminology, focusing on how spaces of transgression, control or confinement are lived, portrayed and imagined.
