Abstract

While feminist and queer epistemologies in criminology have similar origins, dissimilarities based on key dimensions exist, with significant impacts for qualitative methods and methods education. Our article first explores approaches to qualitative methods that generally overlap between feminist and queer epistemologies, such as social change goals, common research methods, and intersectional analyses. We then focus on two broad examples to demonstrate how queer criminology and second-wave feminism diverge. Several recent incidents have crystallized a distinction between transgender inclusivity within queer criminology and transgender exclusivity motivated by trans-exclusionary radical feminism within feminist criminology. We also highlight sex-positive criminological approaches situated within queer criminology, which advocate broadly for decriminalization and harm reduction, compared to second-wave feminist approaches that view considerations of sex and sexuality differently. Lastly, we discuss topics that represent both convergence and divergence, such as the radical possibilities of both feminist and queer criminologies for abolitionist scholarship and methodology, while noting recent examples of the ways criminologists have or have not explored these possibilities. Throughout, we connect the theoretical and the methodological, illustrating the practical realities these similarities and dissimilarities lead to in qualitative research. Our discussion is rooted in principles of inclusive and intersectional pedagogy.

摘要

虽然犯罪学中的女权主义和酷儿认识论起源相似，但存在基于关键维度的差异，这对定性方法和方法教育产生了重大影响。我们的文章首先探讨了在女权主义和酷儿认识论之间通常重叠的定性方法的方法，例如社会变革目标、常见的研究方法和交叉分析。然后，我们将重点放在两个广泛的例子上，以展示酷儿犯罪学和第二波女权主义是如何分歧的。最近的几起事件明确了酷儿犯罪学中的跨性别包容性和女权主义犯罪学中由跨性别激进女权主义推动的跨性别排他性之间的区别。我们还强调了位于酷儿犯罪学中的性别阳性犯罪学方法，与以不同方式看待性和性行为的第二波女权主义方法相比，它广泛倡导去罪化和减少伤害。最后，我们讨论了代表趋同和分歧的主题，例如女权主义和酷儿犯罪学对废奴主义学术和方法论的激进可能性，同时指出最近犯罪学家探索或未探索这些可能性的方式的例子。在整个过程中，我们将理论和方法联系起来，说明这些异同在定性研究中导致的实际现实。我们的讨论植根于包容性和交叉教学法的原则。我们讨论了代表趋同和分歧的主题，例如女权主义和酷儿犯罪学对废奴主义学术和方法论的激进可能性，同时指出最近犯罪学家已经或没有探索这些可能性的方式的例子。在整个过程中，我们将理论和方法联系起来，说明这些异同在定性研究中导致的实际现实。我们的讨论植根于包容性和交叉教学法的原则。我们讨论了代表趋同和分歧的主题，例如女权主义和酷儿犯罪学对废奴主义学术和方法论的激进可能性，同时指出最近犯罪学家已经或没有探索这些可能性的方式的例子。在整个过程中，我们将理论和方法联系起来，说明这些异同在定性研究中导致的实际现实。我们的讨论植根于包容性和交叉教学法的原则。我们将理论和方法联系起来，说明这些异同在定性研究中导致的实际现实。我们的讨论植根于包容性和交叉教学法的原则。我们将理论和方法联系起来，说明这些异同在定性研究中导致的实际现实。我们的讨论植根于包容性和交叉教学法的原则。
