About Book

Women and Children as Victims and Offenders: Background, Prevention, Reintegration explores the dual role of women and children in the criminal justice system, both as victims of crime and as offenders. The volume provides an in-depth analysis of the backgrounds and factors that contribute to the victimization and criminalization of women and children. It addresses critical issues related to prevention strategies, effective rehabilitation methods, and successful reintegration into society post-incarceration or after experiencing victimization. This book presents a comprehensive overview of the challenges faced by women and children who are involved in crime, either as perpetrators or as victims of violence. It discusses a variety of societal, psychological, and institutional factors that influence their behaviors, and how interventions can help reduce their criminal involvement while promoting healing and recovery. The work also outlines preventive measures, focusing on early interventions, education, and social support systems to prevent the escalation of criminal behaviors in vulnerable groups. The editors and contributing authors draw on international case studies and research to offer a diverse and inclusive approach to the reintegration of women and children into society after criminal involvement or victimization.
