Queer (In)Justice: The Criminalization of LGBT People in the United States (Queer Ideas/Queer Action)

Queer (In)Justice: The Criminalization of LGBT People in the United States (Queer Ideas/Queer Action)

Joey L. Mogul
4.2/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
A groundbreaking work that turns a “queer eye” on the criminal legal system, and winner of the 2011 PASS Award from the National Council on Crime and Delinquency
 
Drawing on years of research, activism, and legal advocacy, Queer Justice is a searing examination of queer experiences--as "suspects," defendants, prisoners, and survivors of crime. The authors unpack queer criminal archetypes--like "gleeful gay killers," "lethal lesbians," "disease spreaders," and "deceptive gender benders"--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, the authors prove that the policing of sex and gender both bolsters and reinforces racial and gender inequalities. A groundbreaking work that turns a "queer eye" on the criminal legal system, Queer Justice illuminates and challenges the many ways in which queer lives are criminalized, policed, and punished.
