Abstract

Abstract: This article by Adrian Howe is based on a presentation given at the 'Sources and Methods in Criminology and Criminal Justice Conference' in November 2015, jointly sponsored by the Institute of Advanced Education and the Socio-Legal Studies Association. She begins by querying whether there are indeed distinct feminist methods in the social sciences. She outlines the impact of what she calls the 'methodical revolution' on the criminology discipline, Foucault's contribution and Foucauldian methodologies deployed in criminological and criminal justice research.
