CRIMSOC Report 4 Walter S Dekeseredy

Welcome to the latest collection from CRIMSOC. The development of CRIMSOC as a significant publisher of international criminological research continues with our fourth Report. As Editors of CRIMSOC/JSC and Co-Editors of this collection, we are particularly pleased with the contributions presented here. These chapters represent interesting and necessary explorations into the key issues of 'Gender, Victimology and Restorative Justice'. With articles based on high end research and innovative writing, this collection provides insights into the challenges facing women from anti-feminist activists in the "Women Against Feminism' grouping, in Chapter One, while the odious trafficking of women for prostitution is then examined in the collection's second study. The issue of rape as a subject for debate on internet forums is the subject of our third chapter, echoing the concerns outlined in the opening discussions. In this volume's remaining chapters, the issue of training for young people in prison is outlined in two articles, while the potential solutions which may be provided by Restorative Justice are explored in three separate studies of restorative policy and practice from across the globe. Without doubt, these are subjects of major importance in contemporary society. As such, we feel that this collection should be of considerable use to academics and practitioners in all areas of legal and criminological inquiry.
