Through their critical reflections, feminist researchers, practitioners, activists and criminologists help us understand the many layers of systems failure, double standards and disadvantage that result in women's criminalisation, while being clear that the point is to achieve change. Jenny Earle, Transforming Lives Programme Director, Prison Reform Trust (2012-20) Drawing on personal experiences, this book demonstrates vividly the social injustices that embroil women in the penal system causing such hardship and distress for them and their children with little or no benefit to anyone.
