The DWC facilitates and
promotes research and theory development, pedagogical strategies, and
curricular enhancement that strengthen the links between gender, crime,
and justice. The DWC also recognizes the achievements of women as
students and professional scholars in the study of criminology through
its annual awards programs. To encourage networking and
interaction among academics, researchers, practitioners, and students,
the DWC provides a variety of opportunities for professional and social
interaction including: feminist theory and action workshops; specialty
workshops and forums; numerous panels and presentations on gender,
crime and justice; and an annual social co-sponsored with the Division
on People of Color and Crime.
Membership in the DWC is open to any member of ASC in good
standing. Members can join the Division for just an additional
$15 per year, or $25/year for those members who are tenured or
financially
able. Membership remains just $5 for students. Members
enjoy free access to the
Divsion's journal, Feminist
Criminology. The
ASC/DWC membership application can be found here.
