“…Si bien algunas de estas autoras son las mismas del período precedente porque siguieron trabajando sobre el tema, la producción de estudios e investigaciones sobre la criminalidad femenina y las instituciones de encierro de mujeres se multiplica y se diversifica. Con el Reino Unido como país cuna de estas investigaciones, seguido de los Estados Unidos de América y un poco más lejos de Canadá y Australia, se configura un gran abanico de estudios feministas escritos en inglés que versan sobre las mujeres y el sistema de justicia criminal: Carlen (1983Carlen ( , 1990Carlen ( y 1998Carlen et al, 1985, con Worrall, 1987y 2004, Farrington y Morris (1983), Heidensonh (1985, Dobash et al (1986), Seear y Player (1986), Genders y Player (1987), Josie O'Dwyer et al (1987), Naffine (1987), Morris (1987), Daly y Chesney-Lind (1988), Chesney-Lind (1989), Gelsthorpe (2010, con Morris, 1990y 2002, Worrall (1990) y con Gelsthorpe (2009), Carrington (1993, Hahn y Heidensohn (1995), Davis (1996), Davis y Bhavnani (2000), Bertrand (1994Bertrand ( y 1996, Comack (1999), Bosworth (1999), Bosworth y Carrabine (2001), Hanna-Moffat (2001), Burgess-Proctor (2006), Haney (2010), Bernard (2012), Chesney-Lind y Morash (2013), Renzetti (2013) y Barberet (2014), entre muchas otras.…”

ResumenEl objetivo del artículo es analizar el desarrollo de las investigaciones sobre la ejecución penal femenina en el Estado español a lo largo de los últimos treinta años, en el marco de los principales debates e ideas de las «criminologías feministas anglosajonas». Tratar los hitos clave de estos enfoques feministas, las principales dificultades que ha atravesado, las autoras y los autores más relevantes que han liderado este debate intelectual y académico, las interconexiones entre las investigaciones y la acción de los poderes públicos y, finalmente, las temáticas y los enfoques más significativos que se han ido debatiendo desde una perspectiva crítica y no androcéntrica. El estudio de las cárceles de mujeres y de las mujeres encarceladas ha sido, en España, un tema largamente olvidado por la academia, especialmente por la investigación sociológica, que no le ha prestado la atención que merecía hasta recién entrado el siglo xxi. Desde entonces, imbuidas de las ideas y de las reflexiones de las «criminologías feministas anglosajonas», han ido emergiendo distintas investigaciones que las visibilizan y ponen de relieve la importancia de examinar estas instituciones de reclusión a la luz de las nuevas formas de control punitivo hacia las mujeres. Palabras clave: criminología; mujeres; cárceles; España; feminismo; investigación Abstract. Feminist Criminologies, Research and Women's Prisons in SpainThe aim of this article is analyse the development of Spanish research on female offending and incarceration over the last thirty years in the framework of the main debates and ideas of the English feminist criminologies. From a critical, non-androcentric perspective, this article examines the key milestones of these feminist approaches, the main difficulties they have encountered, the most relevant authors that have led this intellectual and academic debate, the interconnections between research and public policies and, finally, the most significant approaches and topics that have been discussed. The study of women's prisons and women prisoners has been overlooked by academia in Spain, especially in sociological research that paid little attention to the topic until the beginning of the 21st century. Since then, imbued with the ideas of the English feminist criminologies, investigations have emerged that make them visible and evidence the importance of examining these imprisonment institutions in the light of new forms of punitive control towards women.

“…These commentators agree that it is the agent (in this case the mentee), not a mediating other (in this case the mentor), who initiates the process of change. Worrall and Gelsthorpe (2009) however, reflecting on Eaton's (1993) work with women leaving custody, suggest that whilst respondents had all made a conscious decision to re-direct their lives 'such motivation was not something that just happened' (Worrall and Gelsthorpe 2009:337). They submit that 'In order to make that decision,…”

“I Wanted to Feel the Way They Did”: Mimesis as a Situational Dynamic of Peer Mentoring by Ex-Offenders

Despite growing enthusiasm for peer mentoring as a criminal justice intervention, very little is known about what actually happens within these relationships. Drawing upon an ethnographic study of peer mentoring in the North of England this article will foreground the concept of 'inspiration' in these settings. It will argue that Rene Girard's theory of mimesis offers a framework with which to analyse role modelling in mentoring relationships and that a Girardian reading also offers interesting insights into the unresolved problem of the origins of personal change.

“…Drawing all participants from the women's centre, and interviewing them there, could have influenced the information provided, not least because all of the women involved were in a ‘rehabilitative journey’ of sorts in relation to their offending. However, this limitation of the study was countered by the fact that interviewing women who have offended is often challenging due to their vulnerabilities (Worrall and Gelsthorpe ), and the sometimes‐chaotic lives they can lead (Carlen ). Facilitating the interviews through the women's centre was, therefore, the most appropriate way for the researchers to engage with, and for participants to share, important perspectives on the issues under consideration.…”

Women as Co‐Offenders: Pathways into Crime and Offending Motivations

This article reports on a qualitative study in the UK of women as co‐offenders, their pathways into crime and offending motivations. What was found in the analysis of the women's narratives was that while co‐offending relationships were a central pathway into offending, this often intersected with other circumstances in the women's lives, including drug addiction, socio‐economic circumstances, and ‘significant life events’. These findings suggest that those working with this cohort of women must recognise the complexities and contexts of co‐offending to understand, and accurately represent, women's experiences.
