Beyond Bad Girls Gender, Violence and Hype

In this important new work, two respected criminologists challenge the characterization of the new 'bad girl' arguing that it is only a new attempt to punish girls who are not the stereotypical depiction of good. Through interviews with young women, educators and people in the criminal justice system, Beyond Bad Girls exposes the formal and informal systems of socio-cultural control imposed on girls.Irwin, Katherine is the author of 'Beyond Bad Girls Gender, Violence and Hype', published 2007 under ISBN 9780415948272 and ISBN 0415948274.
