Routledge Sex-Positive Criminology - Critical Criminology Book

Sex-Positive Criminology offers a fresh way to analyze sexuality within the fields of criminology and criminal justice. As part of the New Directions in Critical Criminology series, this Routledge publication introduces sex-positivity as a humanizing approach designed to support the well-being of individuals and society. The text is built on the foundation of active and ongoing consent, promoting perspectives that value bodily autonomy and the right to access education. It also advocates for respect regarding sexual difference. The authors examine how various institutions, including prisons, schools, and healthcare facilities, interact with these concepts. Furthermore, the book looks at the roles played by government agents, such as law enforcement, in relation to sexuality. This book is an essential resource for those studying anthropology, sociology, and the legal and social sciences.
