Session Submission Type: Panel
The panel focuses on interconnections between gender, crime and justice in a long-term perspective of Russian history. The attention of scholars to gender and crime has been growing recently, however, there is still a lot of research to be done to provide more or less consistent picture not only of the development of patterns of justice, crime and violence in Russia, but of gendered modes of justice and crime. The panel seeks to establish some (dis)continuities in gendered patterns of criminal prosecutions, stereotypes of criminals and criminal behavior through interdisciplinary approach to these topics. Muravyeva, Dowling and Paneyakh offer criminological and legal analysis of gender and justice underlining an inherent tradition of essentializing criminal behavior even in the situation of changed concepts of criminology and gender composition of law enforcement and judiciary. Johnson undertakes detailed historical analysis of revolutionary women using justice to their advantage. Finashina and Khiterer reveal how gender is portrayed in the narratives of crime and criminals. Overall, the panel allows to see that gender played a crucial role in attitudes to justice and crime.
