Description

<p>In this important new work, two respected criminologists challenge the characterization of the new 'bad girl', arguing that it is only a new attempt to punish girls who are not the stereotypical depiction of good. Through interviews with young women, educators and people in the criminal justice system, <em>Beyond Bad Girls</em> exposes the formal and informal systems of socio-cultural control imposed on girls.</p>
