Overview
Gendered patterns of paths to incarceration and the prison system's gendered treatment of inmates require gender-responsive policies and practices, argues Bloom (criminal justice administration, Sonoma State U.), and not simply "equal" treatment. She presents 10 chapters that explore these themes in the context of Canada and the United States, touching upon issues of risk assessment, gendered supervision procedures, the efficacy in cognitive behavioral approaches to therapeutics in prison, domestic abuse victims who kill their abusers, and assessing the needs of "delinquent" girls.
