I really appreciate how Women's and Girls' Pathways through the Criminal Legal System is theoretically driven by both pathways and intersectional theories and starts with girls/women being tracked into the system and ends with reentry and community. In between are chapters that offer an easy-to-consume understanding of the system, how it operates and the flaws, and gender-responsive approaches that include trauma-informed care. There are great figures (including flow charts) and exercises to apply knowledge throughout the book. I think this book is great for scholars, practitioners, and students! It's a theoretically sound, policy-detailed, data-driven, current, and much-needed book, with a comprehensive view of the challenges and problems women and girls face in the system, at the same time that it identifies some solutions.
