Black Women’s Experiences of Criminal Justice was first published in 1997 and has been reprinted several times in response to popular demand. It deals with the multiple hazards of discrimination-on the basis of race, gender and class-faced by black women who come into contact with the criminal justice process of England and Wales.

This updated and revised version includes information about developments since that time. The book includes first-hand accounts by black women prisoners concerning their treatment by and impressions of the English criminal process. The text has become key reading for practitioners and students alike.

Five years after writing the first edition of this book, Ruth Chigwada-Bailey remains of the view that if the interaction of race, gender, class and criminal justice is to be taken seriously there remains a need not simply for relevant information and understanding but to ‘make things happen’.

  • Extract from the Foreword to the First Edition
    by Sylvia Denman CBE
  • New Introduction to the 2002 Edition by the author
