Growing Up Good Policing the Behaviour of Girls in Europe

Growing Up Good is an international investigation of the ways in which gendered behaviour is imposed on girls through European criminal justice systems. The book successfully combines a feminist critique of criminological theory with in-depth research on girls' actual experience of court procedures and custodial regimes. Vivid accounts of institutional life and alternative treatment demonstrate the implicit and explicit reinforcement of gender stereotypes, male and female, despite or even because of avowed intentions about equal treatment.Cain, Maureen is the author of 'Growing Up Good Policing the Behaviour of Girls in Europe' with ISBN 9780803980211 and ISBN 0803980213.
