Queer (In)Justice
A groundbreaking work that turns a queer eye on the criminal legal system, and winner of the 2011 PASS Prevention for a Safer Society Award from the National Council on Crime and Delinquency Drawing on years of research, activism, and legal advocacy, Queer In Justice is a searing examination of queer experiences as suspects, defendants, prisoners, and survivors of crime The authors unpack queer criminal archetypes like gleeful gay killers, lethal lesbians, disease spreaders, and deceptive gender benders to illustrate the punishment of queer expression, regardless of whether a crime was ever committed Tracing stories from the streets to the bench to behind prison bars, the authors prove that the policing of sex and gender both bolsters and reinforces racial and gender inequalities A groundbreaking work that turns a queer eye on the criminal legal system, Queer In Justice illuminates and challenges the many ways in which queer lives are criminalized, policed, and punished.
