Accounts of female offenders’ journeys into the criminal justice system are often silenced or marginalised. Featuring a Foreword from Pat Carlen, and updating her seminal book ‘Criminal Women’, this collection uses participatory, inclusive and narrative methodologies to highlight the lived experiences of these women. It presents studies focused on drug use and supply, sex work, sexual exploitation and experiences of imprisonment including self-harm, maternal loss and education.
