dc.description.abstractAll justice scholars must appreciate that crime and punishment are sexed and gendered and that measures of the punishment process should reflect those qualities. Theoretically, gender is simply incorporated onto the punishment matrix as if it were the same social relation as class, race, or age. The stakes are high in the punishment game: gender disparity research matters in forming policy. Group comparisons by gender are relevant in paid employment, and they are appropriate to a feminist project. The development of a meaningful notion of "crime seriousness" that reflects the gendered and sexed character of lawbreaking will be a major achievement of scholars and jurists committed to numerical-narrative oscillation. The development of a punishment scale that reflects the gendered character of punishment will be much tougher and more contentious. An important dimension of punishment is its public and normative character.
