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.

As the controversy surrounding the release of Uli Edel and Bernd Eichinger's 2008 feature film 'The Baader Meinhof Complex' demonstrates, West Germany's terrorist period, which reached its height in the 'German autumn' of 1977, is still a fascinating - and troubling - subject. One of the most provocative aspects, still today, is the high proportion of women involved in terrorism, most notoriously Ulrike Meinhof. That the film concentrates on the trajectory of Meinhof's life and mobilizes established and hence reassuring paradigms of femininity in its representation of her (as 'mother' and 'hysterical woman') suggests that the combination of women and violence is still threatening and that there is still mileage to be had from feminizing the discourse. The present study returns to the West German print media of the 1960s and 1970s and raises questions about the continuing preoccupation with this period. Looking at publications from the right-wing 'Bild' to the liberal 'Der Spiegel', it explores how violent women - not only terrorists but also others such as the convicted murderer and media femme fatale Vera Brühne - were represented in text and image. This is the first book to explore print-media representations of German terrorism from an explicitly gendered perspective, and one of very few books in English to address the period in Germany at all, despite steadily increasing interest in the UK and the US. Clare Bielby is Lecturer in German Studies at the University of Hull.

This volume offers a feminist critique of counter- and deradicalization programs, including those under the umbrella of 'preventing and countering violent extremism.' Based on insights from five countries and examples from elsewhere, the text shows how, collectively, efforts rely on particular narratives of agency, security, and human rights. Putting gender at the centre of the analysis reveals significant limitations in antiradicalization work-in construction, operation, and evaluation.

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.

The essays in Killing Women: The Visual Culture of Gender and Violence find important connections in the ways that women are portrayed in relation to violence, whether they are murder victims or killers. The book's extensive cultural contexts acknowledge and engage with contemporary theories and practices of identity politics and debates about the ethics and politics of representation itself. Does representation produce or reproduce the conditions of violence? Is representation itself a form of violence? This book adds significant new dimensions to the characterization of gender and
