Queer (In)Justice
By Joey L. Mogul & Andrea J. Ritchie &Publisher Description
The first comprehensive work to turn a “queer eye” on the criminal justice system, providing an eye-opening study of LGBTQ+ rights and equality.
Drawing on years of research, activism, and legal advocacy, Queer (In)Justice is a searing examination of queer experiences as “suspects,” defendants, prisoners, and survivors of crime. The authors unpack queer criminal archetypes—from “gleeful gay killers” and “lethal lesbians” to “disease spreaders” and “deceptive gender benders”—to illustrate the punishment of queer expression, regardless of whether a crime was ever committed. Tracing stories from the streets to the bench to behind prison bars, the authors prove that the policing of sex and gender both bolsters and reinforces racial and gender inequalities.
An eye-opening study of LGBTQ rights and equality, Queer (In)Justice illuminates and challenges the many ways in which queer lives are criminalized, policed, and punished.

“a comprehensive telling of the history between queerness and criminalization. invigoratingly hopeful at some points, and completely crushing in others. i loved the perspective they had to offer. and i appreciate their commitment to creating new systems rather than settling for “justice” within our current ones. a great starting point for those interested in this topic! provides great references to scholars, texts, and organizations”
