A Superb Book,
By
This review is from: Masculinities and Crime: Critique and Reconceptualization of Theory (Paperback)
'Masculinites And Crime' is a superb book for anyone wishing to explore the link between gender and crime. It is so well written and researched by Messerschmidt that it is a pleasure to read. Full of interesting insights and up to the minute theories.Issues such as ethnicity, class and gender and their relationship to crime are explored. He looks at various types of crime, the construction of gender, and in particular hegemonic masculinity.The chapters which I found to be most interesting were: 'Rethinking Feminist Theory' and 'The State and Gender Politics'. I would highly recommend this book as I believe it to be one of the best purchases I have made of literature pertaining to this subject which is my current area of sociological research.
