The Feminist War on Crime
The Unexpected Role of Women's Liberation in Mass Incarceration
Aya Gruber
A legal scholar delves into the issue of hyper-incarceration in the US and the feminist movement's emphasis on tough criminal laws. The author argues that this approach is counterproductive and dangerous, making women less safe and entrenched in a flawed criminal justice system. Through vivid cases and analysis, the book calls for a shift away from punitive policies and towards alternative solutions for fighting violence against women.

@katrinagulliver Oh god, the Title IX militancy years were terrible like that. (And we’re about to get them back, with Biden! 😒) @ayagruber’s new book (The Feminist War on Crime) has a great section on the weird counterproductive messages inherent in a lot of the anti-campus rape activism, ps – source
