The Feminist War On Crime by Jonathan Gruber
The book argues that feminist advocacy reshaped criminal-justice policy by pushing for tougher laws, expanded prosecutorial discretion, and new institutions (like mandatory arrest rules and sex-offender registries) in areas such as domestic violence and sexual assault; it contends these changes, driven by political incentives and moral urgency, often sidelined due process and produced unintended harms—including wrongful convictions, increased incarceration, and disparate impacts on men and marginalized communities—while fundamentally altering public perceptions of crime and punishment.
