Some 250 entries include abortion, assassination, careers in criminal justice, crime in developing countries, diminished capacity, entrapment, corpus delicti, police, wiretapping and eavesdropping, vigilantism, and feminism’s impact on criminal law. In the latter entry, Nicole Rafter (Northeastern U.), writes that sixties and seventies feminists noticed five inadequacies in the law: too much focus on male offenders, an androcentric understanding of crime, little attention paid to victims, an ignoring of sex difference in criminal processing, and too little attention paid to the dynamics of gender and power. Some essays deal with law in Europe, Russia, and China. All entries are accessible to any college-level reader and contain substantial bibliographies and cross-references. Welcome features are a helpful guide to understanding legal citations and a 30-page glossary. Authors are identified only by institution, which are overwhelmingly in the US. The first edition was published in 1983. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
