This week we will be looking at the contribution of Feminist Criminology. The basic premise of feminist criminology is that traditional criminological perspectives are Androcentric in nature.
Androcentrism: Androcentrism is the practice, conscious or otherwise, of placing a masculine point of view at the center of one's worldview, culture, and history, thereby culturally marginalizing femininity. The related adjective is androcentric, while the practice of placing the feminine point of view at the center is gynocentric.
