Great book! December 10, 2004

I ordered this book for a paper that I had to write for one of my courses. It covers so much ground and it is easily understood.
There is a study that is mentioned in this book about police responding to domestic violence calls and that these calls are considered the most dangerous. According to this study, they are not, the FBI statistics were inflated because of the category that those calls were under. This is completely different from something that has been drilled into me in my courses through lecture. I have not seen it in any of my text books. It made me stop and rethink.
I had no previous knowledge of this subject. I am still not an expert. I do have a more solid foundation because of its thoroughness.

The Invisible Woman...was a required text in a college course I attended at San Francisco State University. I found it to be very helpful in understanding complex issues surrounding women and the criminal injustice system. Further, the book discusses issues surrounding the condition of women in relation to race, class, gender and political economy that many texts fail to disect honestly and realistically. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in educating themselves or others to the trails and tribulations women encure within the criminal injustice system!

I used this book for a college course and it was very easy to read, easy to understand, and held my attention. It's the first time I've wanted to read my school books! It was great about teaching specific statistics of women offenders, women victims, and professional women working in the criminal justice system. Highly recommended for any student studying criminal justice or anyone interested in the topic.
