Gender, Psychology, and Justice: Women's Experiences in the Criminal Justice System

Julie Ancis, adjunct professor in the School of Psychology and associate vice president for Institute Diversity, has co-edited a new book that examines mental health issues for women in the legal system. The book, Gender, Psychology, and Justice: The Mental Health of Women and Girls in the Legal System, examines how gender mixes with race, class, and sexual orientation to impact treatment within the criminal justice system. Ancis and co-editor Corinne Datchi talk about their book with Blog Talk Radio podcast host Heather Stark.
