News for the Spring, 2002 DWC Newsletter
Dear DWC Members:
Welcome to the
spring of 2002! Atlanta is currently being welcomed
by a whole lot of rain, but that's what makes
the flowers grow. Perhaps if I go stand outside
with my computer it will make some publications
grow? Just a thought! Thanks to all of you who
sent in news to share in this current issue
of the DWC DivisioNews. I hope to hear
from many more of you next time. Have a wonderful
and productive spring. For all of my academic
colleagues, it's almost summer, so hang in there!
Cheers,
Amy D'Unger
Associate Editor for "Member News"
Congratulations
to Chris Rasche, who was one of the first
set of faculty on her campus to receive a new
award given directly from the students to teachers
in recognition of excellence in teaching. The
2001 Student Choice Outstanding Professor Award
was presented last December by the University
of North Florida Student Government Association
to only one faculty member from each program
on the basis of student votes. Chris received
the award in Criminal Justice. Way to go!

NEW PUBLICATION
NOTICES FROM THE DIC:
Women and Punishment:
the Struggle for Justice (edited by Pat
Carlen, University of Keele, UK). With growing
international concern about the increasing numbers
of women in prison and the effects of this,
this book is concerned with describing and analyzing
issues arising from attempts to reduce female
prison conditions and improve conditions. The
book brings together leading scholars and practitioners
in the field from the UK, the USA, and Canada,
providing a critique of reform initiatives and
a much needed theorization of cross-national
policy in this area.
Captive Audience:
Media, Masculinity and Power in Prisons
(Yvonne Jewkes, University of Hull, UK). Concerned
with the role of the media in everyday life
in prisons, and based on extensive research
in English prisons, this work charts the way
in which prisoners use media in coping, or failing
to cope with, the pressures of prison life,
exploring the impact of the media in terms of
prisoners' identities, shaping power relations
between prisoners and other prisoners, and in
helping prisoners 'get through' a prison sentence.

Christina DeJong
has an excellent idea of putting together a
web page that focuses on teaching gender and
crime as a resource for DWC members. The page
could include links to syllabi, example reading

such a project, please e-mail Christina at dejongc@msu.edu.
What a super idea!
