Book Description
The book argues that capitalism, as an economic system, and patriarchy, as a form of gender organization, must be treated as interacting structures in any attempt to explain crime. It begins with a socialist feminist critique of the failure of Marxist criminology to analyze gender relations and the origin of female oppression accurately and, therefore, how these factors contribute to the development of crime in society. It then explores such topics as the limitations of both liberal and radical feminist viewpoints concerning crime, the causative factors for a variety of crimes, ranging from street crime to corporate crime, and the inadequacies of government's present conservative approach to crime.

Book Description
In The Law of the Father? Mary Murray develops a new perspective on the class-patriarchy relationship. Women's rights in and to property are explored in pre-capitalist and capitalist society. Exploring the links between kinship, property and patriarchy as symbiotic and fundamental to the development of the English state, the relationship between women, property and citizenship is seen as central to the 'Law of the Father' and the transition to a 'capitalist fraternity'. The book maintains a general link between property and the legal regulation of sexual behaviour. The author criticizes the view that women themselves have been property, arguing that it rests on a historically specific concept of history projected back in history, where no such concept existed and reflects changes in ways of thinking about property which emerged in the course of the transition from feudalism to capitalism.

Book Description
This edited collection from leading scholars in the fields of media, communications, cultural studies and a number of aligned areas looks to the intersection of capitalism, crime and the media. The text is founded on the principles of cultural criminology – that how we determine and understand crime lies in the social world and that the determination of crime and its mediation in popular culture have a political basis. The book consists of eleven chapters and is divided into three sections. Section one considers the intersection of crime and capitalism in a range of contemporary cultural texts. Section two examines how various power systems influence the operation of the media in its role of reporting crime and holding the powerful to account. Section three considers how texts in a variety of formats are used to conduct politics, communicate politics and enact political decision making.

Book Description
ABSTRACT: Recent research documenting important changes in gender specific offending over past decades has offered women's economic marginalization and the patriarchal capitalist structure of society as important explanations of this phenomenon. This study builds on previous work by further exploring the utility of women's economic marginalization and the elements of the patriarchal capitalist structure of society to understand changing gender differences in crime. Using pooled cross-sectional time series regression analysis I estimate the effect of changes in multiple dimensions of women's economic marginalization and the patriarchal capitalist structure on the changing female percentage of arrests for both violent and property offending in U.S. cities for the time period 1980-2000. Overall, study results offer insight into the unique impact of women's economic marginalization and the patriarchal capitalist structure on the changing female percentage of arrests for various crimes.

Book Description
This study traces the social origins of the sexual division of labour. It provides a history of the related processes of colonization and housewifization and extends this analysis to the contemporary new international division of labour and the role which women have to play as the cheapest producers and consumers. In this new edition, Maria Mies applies her theory to the globalized world and answers her critics.

Book Description
KEY BENEFIT: Synthesizing the disciplines of sociology and women's studies, this book presents major theoretical frameworks on sex and gender stratification, taking a feminist sociological approach to the study of women in society to analyze women's positions within the institutions of work, education and the law. Integrates social class, race/ethnicity and gender as dimensions of equality across social issues. Explains basic sociological approaches, including functionalism, conflict theory and symbolic interactionism, and provides an overview of feminist theories. Analyzes trends in census data over the past two decades, and includes new sections on trends in women owned businesses and hate crimes. Discusses the global view of women in the labor force over the last three decades, and concludes with a section on Women and Aging that illustrates the compounded effects of the interconnections between class, race and gender issues on women as they progress through the course of life. For sociologists, social scientists, and those interested in women's studies.
