Inclusive College Classrooms
Inclusive College Classrooms provides instructors with research-based practices and tools to create an effective and inclusive classroom environment. Filling a visible gap in pedagogical training, this important book responds to current barriers to inclusion in higher education by helping instructors improve the methods they are already using and identify new methods that could enhance their courses. The inclusive approach in this book is informed by critical pedagogy, universal design for learning, and intersectional social justice pedagogies. The authors identify practices in education that exclude historically marginalized groups and outline teaching strategies that can create more inclusive classrooms, where all students can feel heard and represented. This timely volume is packed full of hundreds of example lessons from across a range of disciplines, tips for moving classes online, questions to generate dialogue about various methods, and appendices on lesson planning. With this book in hand, instructors can continually adapt and revise their pedagogy to be more inclusive and effective.
Rural Victims of Crime
Rural Victims of Crime offers a pioneering sustained assessment of ‘the rural victim’. It does so by examining and analysing the conceptual constructs of a victim and challenging the urban bias of victimisation and victimology in criminological study. Indeed, far too much criminological scholarship is based on the false assumption that rural areas are relatively crime free – and thus free, too, of victims. Providing international perspectives, chapters in this edited collection focus centrally on notions of place and space, and constructions of rural victims in a variety of contexts, exploring the impact that geographic location has on the type and prevalence of victimisation. The conc...

Women Criminals [2 volumes]
A unique, two-volume study that examines female crime and the women who commit it. The two-volume Women Criminals: An Encyclopedia of People and Issues addresses both key topics and key figures in women's crime. The first volume provides topical essays about areas critical to the understanding of female criminals, such as the definition of women's crime, explanations of women's criminality, ethnic and age diversity in female criminals, and responses of the criminal justice system. The second volume comprises biographical entries profiling women who are obviously criminals, such as Aileen Wuornos and Myra Hindley, and also women who were victims of circumstance, unjust laws, or narrowly appli...
Research Handbook on Intersectionality

This forward-thinking Research Handbook demonstrates how to pursue fluid and innovative research approaches, identify differences from traditional methodologies, and overcome the common challenges faced when carrying out intersectional research.
The Oxford Handbook of Evidence-Based Crime and Justice Policy
"An evidence-based approach to crime and justice policy can go a long way toward ensuring that the best available research is considered in decisions that bear on the public good. However, the term "evidence-based" is characterized by a great deal of rhetoric. Indeed, there remains a marked disjuncture between calls for "evidence-based" policy and an understanding of what it means for policy to be "evidence-based." The calls for evidence-based policy nonetheless provide a powerful foundation for propelling a movement toward bringing about rational, cost-effective, and humane policies for the betterment of society. This handbook showcases the state of research on evidence-based crime and just...
