Gender has long attracted the attention of social researchers as key to understanding Mediterranean societies and their institutions. Custodial and cognate systems across the Mediterranean region have also received increasing international research attention in recent years. Yet little has been done to date to explore the place of women in those systems. This collection helps fill this curious gap by exploring various dimensions of the relationship between women and captivity in the specific context of Greece, from the 19th century to contemporary times. Greece is a country currently at the epicentre of international attention, not just because of the recent and ongoing financial crisis there, but also because Greek criminal justice and related institutions have been found systematically to violate basic international human rights legislation. The collection makes a unique contribution to a range of disciplines, particularly to criminology, history, sociology, anthropology and politics, as well as to various subfields, such as gender studies, penology, transitional justice studies and modern Greek studies. It will be a valuable resource for researchers and academics with an interest in punishment, state violence, gender relations and feminism.
