| dc.description.abstract | This paper sets out to examine, through a review of the criminological literature, the complex social phenomenon of female offending and imprisonment. In this review, the emphasis is placed on the contribution of feminist debates. The paper is divided into two parts. Part one looks at the feminist theoretical framework of female offending and the contribution of feminist research to our understanding of women's experiences inside prison. Part two explores the practical issues concerning women's imprisonment. Here, the emphasis is placed on international debates and policy implications with regard to women's imprisonment. By drawing on international debates and criminal justice practices relating to women in prison, this research paper will explore issues relevant to South Africa and the issues confronting incarcerated females. In addition to this review, a small set of case histories was done with ex female offenders which will contribute to understanding some of the issues confronting incarcerated females in South Africa. | |
