Review:
..."thought-provoking theories on how gender impacts on the justice system."-Magistrate
"Another strong reference from Oryx, this will be useful in criminology and women's studies collections and for large public libraries."-Library Journal
..."this encyclopedia is sure to prove indispensable to the growing number of students of women as criminals, as criminal justice personnel, and as victims before the system of criminal justice."-ARBA
"Though there are reference works that cover aspects of women and crime, this is the first to try to span so much. It is to be commended--and one hopes, improved in a subsequent edition."-Feminist Collections
"This well-organized reference tool is recommended for public libaries of any size, as well as high-school and undergraduate libraries. Where it should prove valuable to the researcher, student, casual reader, and librarian."-Booklist/Reference Books Bulletin
