af Hillary (University of Colorado at Boulder Potter

Intersectionality claims that not only are people¿s lived experiences affected by their racial identity and by their gender identity, but that these identities, and others, continually operate together and affect each other. This book provides a comprehensive review of the need for, and use of, intersectionality in the study of crime, criminality, and the criminal legal system.
