The University of Greenwich’s Gender, Deviance and Society Research Group is pleased to invite you on a book tour with a difference to mark the group’s latest publication ‘Sex and Crime’, part of the Key Approaches to Criminology series published by Sage. The textbook is aimed at undergraduate and converting-to-criminology postgraduate students and their lecturers. We invite you to join us for an evening of exploration, discussion, and intrigue.

Grounded by COVID-19, rather than taking the text on tour, we invite you to take a tour of this 15-chapter book in an interactive and accessible online event.

During the event, we will showcase some of the approaches we have adopted in this text, demonstrate some of the tools we use to explore potentially challenging topics with students and open-up for a discussion of some of the themes of this book and how to teach them.

This innovative textbook:

• Draws on the authors’ research expertise, insightful case studies, and leading scholarship from across the globe.

• Develops students’ capacity to engage thoughtfully with diverse problems and to think critically. This is achieved with the help of creative learning exercises, empathetic questioning, and relevant illustrative examples.

• Encourages readers to be reflexive, open-spirited, and curious about how issues of sex and crime touch their lives and those of people around them.
