Autorenporträt
Marisa Silvestri is an Associate Professor in Criminology at Kingston University. Her main research interests lie at the intersections of policing, gender and criminal justice. More specifically her work centres on exploring the position and role of women in police leadership and the gendered nature of the criminal justice system in relation to its impact on women offenders and victims. As a strong advocate of participatory action research with an emphasis on practitioner involvement, her work not only advances theoretical understandings of these issues but aims to inform policy and practice. She has published extensively in the field, including Women in Charge: policing, gender and leadership (Willan) and 'Gender and Crime' in the Oxford Handbook of Criminology (co-authored with Frances Heidensohn (Oxford). She is also an editorial board member for Policing & Society and is currently working on exploring the gendered impacts of the current police reform agenda on the selection of its chief officers, together with an analysis of the gendered nature of language within policing. 
Rezensionen
Gender & Crime: A Human Rights Approach is not merely another book on criminology. It is also a necessary stocktaking of the evolution of gender issues within human rights policies and the general economic, political, social and cultural contexts of Britain, Europe and worldwide.

Besides providing insight into the relevance of studying human rights and criminology, feminist critique and the global and local political agenda on gender issues, this book brings the added value of reminding the public about the real challenges to gender discrimination in the criminal justice system. It thus informs and better equips the next generation of practitioners, currently students, or all other policymakers who read it.

Therefore, I dare say that this book is not only a must-read, but also a must-keep.
