See Smart's introduction to her collection Law, Crime, and Sexuality (London: Sage, 1995), and the famous essay reprinted as chapter 2 of this anthology, “Feminist Approaches to Criminology, or Postmodern Woman Meets Atavistic Man.” Smart's break with criminology is discussed in Naffine's book (p. 5).

2. This chapter, and indeed Naffine's book as a whole, has many affinities with Young's, Alison recent book Imagining Crime (London: Sage, 1996)Google Scholar, both in the use of unconventional ‘data’ and in the continued hope that criminology can indeed be transformed by feminism.
