Women in Prison
A fascinating read. Successfully incorporates theories of deviance with fieldwork. Although out-of-date now by the standards of the white-supremacist movement, which has changed drastically since the advent of the internet, it will take a long time for this thoughtful book to outlive its usefulness as a base text on criminology. A seminal treatise in the literature on white supremacy and hate crime.
