*"Martin and Jurik provide a clear body of evidence illuminating the gendered nature of criminal justice occupations. Of the multitude of feminist works on this topic, this is one of the best analyses available."

*******CRIMINAL JUSTICE REVIEW

Doing Justice, Doing Gender: Women in Legal and Criminal Justice Occupations** is a highly readable, sociologically grounded analysis of women working in traditionally male dominant justice occupations of law, policing, and corrections. This Second Edition represents not only a thorough update of research on women in these fields, but a careful reconsideration of changes in justice organizations and occupations and their impact on womens justice work roles over the past 40 years.

New to the Second Edition:

Introduces a wider range of workplace diversity and experiences: An expanded sociological theoretical framework grasps the interplay of gender, race, ethnicity, and sexual orientation in understanding workplace identities and inequities.
Provides a better understanding of the centrality of gender issues to understanding the legal and criminal justice system in general: This edition further connects womens work experiences to social trends and consequent changes in legal system and in criminal justice agencies.
Offers a more international perspective: More material is included on women lawyers, police, and correctional officers in countries outside the U.S.

Intended Audience:
This is an excellent supplemental text for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses such as Gender & Work; Women and Work; Sociology of Work and Occupations; Women and the Criminal Justice System; and Gender Justice in the departments of Sociology, Criminal Justice, Womens Studies, and Social Work.
