Congratulations to DWC members Carrie Buist and Emily Lenning on the publication of their new book, Queer Criminology, part of the “New Directions in Critical Criminology” series. In this book, Carrie L. Buist and Emily Lenning reflect on the origins of Queer Criminology, survey the foundational research and scholarship in this emerging field, and offer suggestions for the future.
Covering topics such as the criminalization of queerness; the policing of Queer communities; Queer experiences in the courtroom; and the correctional control of Queer people, Queer Criminology synthesizes the work of criminologists, journalists, legal scholars, non-governmental organizations, and others to illuminate the historical and contemporary context of the Queer experience.
The Division on Women and Crime is now accepting applications for the Larry J. Siegel Fellowship for the Study of Gender and Crime and the Feminist Criminology Graduate Research Scholarship.
Interested students can read more about the awards, their criteria, and how to apply at ascdwc.com/awards/student-awards.
