dc.description.notesThis chapter explores the shifting culture of punishment towards women in England and Wales; Australian and US examples are also included. An increase in female imprisonment reveals the ‘contemporary search for equivalence’ and the emergence of categories of female offenders. It is argued that political discourses are responsible for gender-neutral perceptions of and responses to criminal behaviour. The implications for the moral retreat from the traditional domestication, welfarisation, medicalisation and sexualisation of women’s offending are explored. The new psychology of female violence is also discussed.en
