Combining hard-hitting policy analysis with an intimate account of how marginalized women navigate an unforgiving world, Susan Sered and Maureen Norton-Hawk shine new light on the deep and complex connections between suffering and social inequality. 606 $aAbused women$zMassachusetts$zBoston$xSocial conditions 606 $aFemale offenders$zMassachusetts$zBoston$xSocial conditions 606 $aWomen drug addicts$zMassachusetts$zBoston$xSocial conditions 606 $aResponsibility$xSocial aspects$zMassachusetts$zBoston 610 $aamerican prison system. 610 $aamerican studies. 610 $abad choices. 610 $aboston. 610 $acivic. 610 $aclass and gender. 610 $acriminalization. 610 $acultural studies. 610 $aday to day lives. 610 $adiscrimination. 610 $adiscriminatory politics. 610 $adrug abuse. 610 $adrugs. 610 $agender studies. 610 $ahuman condition. 610 $aincarceration. 610 $aineffective programs. 610 $alocal and federal government. 610 $amass incarceration. 610 $apersonal flaws. 610 $apersonal responsibility. 610 $aprison system. 610 $aprison. 610 $asexual abuse. 610 $asocial inequality. 610 $asocial programs. 610 $atherapeutic programs. 610 $aurban sociology. 610 $aviolence in society. 610 $aviolent communities. 610 $awelfare. 610 $awomen. 615 0$aAbused women$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aFemale offenders$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aWomen drug addicts$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aResponsibility$xSocial aspects 676 $a362.83/70974461 700 $aSered$b Susan Starr$01014521 702 $aNorton-Hawk$b Maureen 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786652103321 996 $aCan't catch a break$93818889 997 $aUNINA
