Aya Gruber, The Feminist War on Crime: The Unexpected Role of Women's Liberation in Mass Incarceration (University of California Press, 2020).
Former public defender Aya Gruber documents how zero-tolerance laws and policies aimed at combating sexual and domestic violence -- advocated for by feminists -- can actually make women less safe and more vulnerable. Deploying vivid cases and unflinching analysis, The Feminist War on Crime shows how mandatory arrests, no-drop prosecutions, forced separation, and incarceration exacerbate social inequalities by expanding a fundamentally flawed criminal justice system, often without offering women safety or justice.
