Abstract
Since its inception in the mid‐1990s, cultural criminology has focused on the cultural meanings of practices defined as “crime” and the cultural dynamics of criminalization and control in late modernity. Here, culture is understood as the symbolic space in and through which individuals and groups make sense of their being, their actions, and the social and material world. This entry examines the ways in which cultural criminology explains women's acts of crime and deviance, such as their engagement in edgework or terrorism, by offering an analysis which takes seriously agentive forces such as emotions and desires, as well as structures of power and existing patterns of inequality.
