In the latter entry, Nicole Rafter (Northeastern U. ), writes that sixties and seventies feminists noticed five inadequacies in the law: too much focus on male offenders, an androcentric understanding of crime, little attention paid to victims, an ignoring of sex difference in criminal processing, and too little attention paid to the dynamics of gender and power. Some essays deal with law in Europe, Russia, and China. --All entries are accessible to any college-level reader and contain substantial bibliographies and cross-references. Welcome features are a helpful guide to understanding legal citations and a 30-page glossary."-Book News--with a bonus offer--
