Description: Unruly Women : The Politics of Confinement and Resistance, Paperback by Faith, Karlene, ISBN 1609801377, ISBN-13 9781609801373, Brand New, Free shipping in the US This volume, a reprinting of the 1993 original publication, examines the unique status of women in prison and argues that, because women convicted of crimes often pose no threat to continuing social order, their punishment reflects other processes at work, foremost the desire of the patriarchal system to punish women who challenge the gender and social norms of male dominated society. This timely work sheds light on the status and situation of inmates and former prisoners in an era of unprecedented levels of institutionalized incarceration. Faith is a lifetime social justice activist and is professor emerita of criminology at Simon Frasier University, Canada. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
