ABSTRACT
This chapter highlights some of the main messages from this book, and focuses on recommendations for both harm minimisation and decarceration. It also includes a discussion of emerging research areas. Many crimes against women are still invisible or under-researched. Several examples are worthy of further investigation. In prisons, police and corrections agencies women are still forced to adapt to and resist the discrimination and constraints imposed upon them in terms of career progression. For Indigenous populations to flourish and become collectively safe, the settler-state impacts across multiple generations have to be addressed. The researchers contributing to this edited volume have seen many injustices and abuses of the human rights of women throughout their years as criminal justice researchers and activists. They absolutely “walk their talk,” and have written compassionately to promote improved conditions for women in justice settings.
