Seeking to better understand the processes that push teenage girls to acts of criminal violence, Judith Ryder explores the relationship between disrupted emotional bonds and violent delinquency. Ryder draws on intimate interviews to show how teenage girls navigate experiences of abuse, emotional loss, and parental abandonment, revealing how their violent acts become a means of connecting with others—however maladaptive and misplaced those connections may be. Her work suggests viable strategies for early intervention to keep at-risk young women out of the criminal justice system.

In the past twenty years Quebec women writers, including Aline Chamberland, Claire Dé, Suzanne Jacob, and Hélène Rioux, have created female characters who are fascinated with bold sexual actions and language, cruelty, and violence, at times culminating in infanticide and serial killing. Paula Ruth Gilbert argues that these Quebec feminist writers are "re-framing" gender. Violence and the Female Imagination explores whether these imagined women are striking out at an external other or harming themselves through acts of self-destruction and depression. Gilbert examines the degree to which women are imitating men in the outward direction of their anger and hostility and suggests that such "tough" women may be mocking men in their "macho" exploits of sexuality and violence. She illustrates the ways in which Quebec female authors are "feminizing" violence or re-envisioning gender in North American culture. Gilbert bridges methodological gaps and integrates history, sociology, literary theory, feminist theory, and other disciplinary approaches to provide a framework for the discussion of important ethical and aesthetic questions.

Quelles sont les possibilités offertes par la justice criminelle aux femmes à Marseille dans la seconde moitié du XVIIIe siècle ? Quel est le discours de la justice face aux actes violents commis (ou subis) par les femmes ? Quel est le discours des plaignant(e)s, des accusé(e)s, des témoins et des voisin(e)s, une fois appelés à s’exprimer devant les autorités judiciaires ? Telles sont, entre autres, les questions traitées par l’auteur dans cette étude originale fondée sur le tribunal de la sénéchaussée, espace privilégié de la parole - censée être libre de toute contrainte -, dans lequel les justiciables parviennent à se mettre en scène, à jouer sur les émotions, à "dire" le récit de leur vie, ainsi que de leurs difficultés, réelles ou simulées ; à raconter celui de leurs adversaires et à les attaquer, grâce à l’instrument judiciaire que tous et toutes savent utiliser au nom de la réparation de l’honneur. Cette immersion dans l’ordinaire des mœurs marseillaises permet à l’auteur de combler une lacune historiographique, ainsi que de restituer au lecteur une vision et une version de ce que pouvait être une société urbaine sous l’Ancien Régime, société considérée par le biais du prisme de la violence et du genre.
