Offending women : female lawbreakers and the criminal justice system / by Worrall, Anne.(CARDINAL)185581;
Includes bibliographical references and index.1. Theorizing Women's Experiences -- 2. Rules and Authority -- 3. Not Mad Enough, Not Bad Enough: Fifteen Female Lawbreakers -- 4. Invisible Women? -- 5. Guilty Women? -- 6. Treatable Women? -- 7. Manageable Women? -- 8. Listening to Women -- A Footnote? -- 9. Women Offenders Or Offending Women? -- Appendix: researching women -- Notes.Female offenders experience very different treatment from male offenders at the hands of the courts and welfare agencies. In Offending Women, former probation officer Anne Worrall draws on detailed empirical research to examine why this is, how the situation is perpetuated, and what the implications are for women. The author looks at the wholly inadequate categorizations applied to women who offend and the inappropriate solutions offered to their ill-defined problems. In acknowledging the State's powerlessness to categorize them, Worrall builds up a fascinating concept of the 'nondescriptiveness' of certain women offenders. By defying description they are largely neglected by (and elude the control of) professional expertise. The author then examines the relevance of the concept to a broader sociology of women's experiences. Offending Women provides an interesting and useful theoretical analysis of the discourse surrounding women's deviancy. Based on interviews with probation officers, magistrates, solicitors, psychiatrists, and female lawbreakers themselves, the book will be essential reading for practitioners in the field as well as academics in criminology and women's studies.1410L

Summer of our discontent : the age of certainty and the demise of discourse / by Williams, Thomas Chatterton,1981-author.(CARDINAL)499721;
Includes bibliographical references."An incisive, culturally observant analysis of the evolving mores, manners and taboos of social justice ("anti-racist") orthodoxy, which has profoundly influenced how we think about diversity and freedom of expression, often with complex or paradoxical consequences. In this provocative book, Thomas Chatterton Williams, one of the most revered and reviled social commentators of our time, paints a clear and detailed picture of the ideas and events that have paved the way for the dramatic paradigm shift in social justice that has taken place over the past few years. Taking aim at the ideology of critical race theory, the rise of an oppressive social media, the fall from Obama to Trump, and the twinned crises of COVID-19 and the murder of George Floyd, Williams documents the extent to which this transition has altered media, artistic creativity, education, employment, policing, and, most profoundly, the ambient language and culture we use to make sense of our lives. Williams also decries how liberalism-the very foundation of an open and vibrant society-is in existential crisis, under assault from both the right and the left, especially in our predominantly networked, Internet-driven monoculture. Sure to be highly controversial, Nothing Was the Same is a compelling look at our place in a radically changing world"-- Provided by publisher.

Me, myself, they : life beyond the binary / by Ferguson, Luna,1982-author.(CARDINAL)784971;
Introduction: The non-binary person -- The child -- The fluidity -- The survivor -- The alchemist -- The expression -- The body -- The empath -- The magic -- The geek -- The filmmaker -- The advocate -- The Amazon -- The philosopher."Examines what it means to live with a non-binary identity in today's world. Through their exploration of the discourse around gender, sex, and sexuality, Joshua M. Ferguson challenges common notions of these terms. They discuss their public and private life and what it is like to live as neither man nor woman. Combining private and personal stories alongside an analysis of emerging trends in popular culture that signal a massive shift in our understanding of gender and sex, Me, Myself, They promises to counter non-binary trans exclusion, erasure, and invisibility. With the growing discourse on transgender identities, now is the time for a book that argues for an inclusive understanding of gender diversity."--
