Winner of the 2011 PASS (Prevention for a Safer Society) Award from the National Council on Crime and Delinquency

A groundbreaking work that turns a â€œqueer eyeâ€ on the criminal legal system, Queer (In)Justice is a searing examination of queer experiencesâ€”as â€œsuspects,â€ defendants, prisoners, and survivors of crime. The authors unpack queer criminal archetypesâ€”like â€œgleeful gay killers,â€ â€œlethal lesbians,â€ â€œdisease spreaders,â€ and â€œdeceptive gender bendersâ€â€”to illustrate the punishment of queer expression, regardless of whether a crime was ever committed. Tracing stories from the streets to the bench to behind prison bars, they prove that the policing of sex and gender both bolsters and reinforces racial and gender inequalities.
