Reviews / Votes
"Miller's firsthand report of female offenders documents a picture of contemporary female criminality... Street Woman is field research at its best. The reader will be angered and disturbed, enlightened and absorbed." --Darrell J. Steffenmeier "This book deserves a large audience for it provides convincing detail on the recruitment of women to this kind of demi monde and spells out for us a far more persuasive social process than that anticipated in more abstract models. Like the best of our ethnographics research it provides both a refinement of existing theory and a descriptive document that can outlast existing theory." --Gerald D. Suttles, University of ChicagoMore details
