Crime, Gender, Culture and Power: Women's Symposium
HWLJ Online Publications Editor
Hastings Women's Law Journal
The HWLJ* is proud to present its annual Symposium entitled Crime
Wave: Towards an Understanding of Culture, Community and Difference.
The Symposium will take place at
Hastings College of the Law on April 5, 1997.
Crime Wave will be a provocative examination of the parts played by
Crime and punishment in shaping and marking our cultural differences.
Scholars, practitioners, and teachers in Criminal Law will explore and
discuss the role of Crime in contemporary America, focusing on how
criminalization and punishment serve to define community, racial and
gender boundaries, and culture itself. The even will consist of three
panel discussions: the first highlighting the theoretical and
interdisciplinary approaches to understanding Crime's different roles
in our culture; the second focusing on specific hot button issues in
the current Crime debate; and the third soliciting opinion and
discussion from practitioners facing difficult personal and political
dilemmas in carrying out their jobs in the criminal justice field.
We are excited to have an excellent and diverse group of panelists
such as Professor Carrie Hempel from the University of Southern
California Law Center, Andrea Shorter from Center for Juvenile and
Criminal Justices, Daniel Abrahamson from The Lindesmith Center, among
many others.
Registration is $20.00 (including lunch) and $10.00 w/o lunch.
Students with ID are free (not including lunch). MCLE credits are
pending.

*The Hastings Women's Law Journal is a scholarly publication of the
University of California, Hastings College of the Law committed to
providing a forum for alternative voices to be heard in both the legal
community and society at large. Our issues focus on the intersections
between gender and race, class, disability, sexual orientation, and
other social concerns.

That is your right, but what makes you think anyone wants to hear from
you on this. If you have a criticism of the conference go for it. But
telling us you are too apathetic to attend tells us nothing of
interest.
If you are having a pissy day, and feel the need to vent, check out
one of the alt support groups. :-)
