About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
“This book is a fine introduction to the literature and the controversies surrounding perception of female offenders. It is available both in print and as an e-book. … Researchers entering this area should also find the book to be a useful resource text, especially in combination with the PASK, and, for clinical professionals who deal with female offenders, it is an excellent continuing education experience that can bring them closer to the empirical foundations of their work.” (Thomas E. Schacht, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 58 (35), August, 2013)Editors and Affiliations
