ABSTRACT

This concluding chapter offers a thematic overview of the ongoing challenge posed by feminist informed interventions on gender for the disciplines of criminology and victimology. Here the material discussed in the book as a whole is pulled together along five inter-connected themes addressing the questions of epistemology, concepts, saliency, policy and the emergent agenda of ‘Southern’ criminology/victimology. In identifying these themes as ongoing dilemmas for both of these areas of investigation, this conclusion suggests that despite the wealth of material which has been generated since the presence of second wave feminism made itself felt on studies of crime, criminal victimisation and criminal justice, much remains to be done.
