This book lays out a progressive agenda for sex-positive criminology. Building on research traditions in feminist and queer criminology, and drawing on a range of case studies on topics such as sexual education and reproductive rights, this book explores the ways in which criminologists should engage with sex-positivity. 'Wodda and Panfil's Sex-Positive Criminology is an act of courage-the courage to explore sexuality, desire, crime, and criminal justice in all their perilous complexity. Brilliantly critiquing those institutions of control that stigmatize and criminalize human sexuality, the book in turn proposes an inclusive, sensual, liberatory rethinking of criminology itself.' Jeff Ferrell, Professor of Sociology, Texas Christian University, Author of Drift: Illicit Mobility and Uncertain Knowledge 'This book is long overdue and sheds a much-needed light in understanding sex-positivity in criminological theory and research. Traditional criminology scholars often explore sexuality negatively, as it pertains to sexual deviance and violence. With a sex-positivity framework, Wodda and Panfil offer the reader a more nuanced and complex "sexual universe" to consider and fully shed light on the harms caused by regulating and criminalizing sexuality. This book is a fascinating read for anyone interested in sex, law, crime, and justice.'
