Summary
This notion exposes that criminal selectivity does encompass the distinctive enforcement of punitive power according to class, gender, race, sexual orientation, religion and ethnicity, and the distinctive impact of under-criminalised crimes and harms in the lives of marginalised groups. The special issue raises the point that in the 21st Century we need to look at the disproportionate selective victimisation of women, diversities, ethnic minorities, and migrants and how the crimes they suffer systematically crush their modest life plans (Collins, León, Tosh, de Carvalho/Matos).
