Distinguished Lecture - The Gender of Crime by Nicola Lacey
DISTINGUISHED LECTURE #2
IAST welcomes the public to hear from some of the world’s most high-profile thinkers in behavioral economics, law and history as they investigate our ideas about judgment.
2017's second public talk stars Nicola Lacey, London School of Economics:
The Gender of Crime
Why is crime overwhelmingly dominated by men? Legal scholar Nicola Lacey compares the treatment of women in the criminal process with changing attitudes in literature – from wild Moll Flanders to the polite heroines who followed. Early criminologists’ panic about women’s liberation was misplaced: it has not caused a surge in female offenders. But what will the future hold if ideas about female deviance now focus on badness rather than madness?
