概要 'Carol Smart, argues that institutional and intelectual boundaries often prevent criminologists, socio-legal communities, and feminists from reading each others' works. In her collection of essays,Sma...t therefore sets out to demonstrate how her feminist project is formed by, and informs, wider debates in sociology, criminology, socio-legal studies, and feminist theory and philosophy......Specifically, Smart highlights how postmodern ideas have led her to question the feasibility of using legal systems for emancipatory puroses.... Smart's collection is a valuable contribution to current discussions about law, crime, and sexuality. The accessibility, scope and chronological arrangement of the collection make it especially useful for introducing students to the history of scholarship on female criminality and to recent developments in critical and leagal theory. Moreover, Smart's insightful suggestions about the discursive construction of "crime" and the "criminal" introduce a welcome alternative to current approaches for addressing the problem of both male and female criminality.' Crime, Law & Social Change 26//1997Carol Smart is one of the leading feminist theorists writing today. Her work on law, crime and sexuality occupies a central place in the literature and inspires students and academics alike. Law, Crime and Sexuality transcends the traditional fragmentation of sociology, criminology, socio-legal studies, feminist theory and philosophy, enabling readers to draw on aspects from each discipline and see the connections between various key themes and debates. Compiled specifically for students' needs, these essays demonstrate that theory need not be inaccessible and help students to understand the law in conceptual terms whilst enabling them to become fully aware of the extent to which the law is implicated in our everyday lives. The book is divided into three sections, each prefaced by a specifically written introduction and looks at: · the shift from criminology to the sociology of law · the identification of law as a site of struggle rather than as a tool of reform · the recognition of the contested nature of `woman' as a category · the significance of the developing situation where feminists must debate about values and epistemologies without fearing the demise of feminist politics In addition, the text includes Carol Smart's most recent thoughts in an original final chapter which develops further her challenging work on the gendering and sexing of the body, the survival of sociological feminism and the development of new ways of thinking about women and law. The ideas presented here will generate further ideas and argument, making this book essential reading for all students of criminology, law, sociology of law and women's studies.
