Natalie J. Sokoloff has been at John Jay College for more than 35 years. She teaches courses on women, crime, and justice; imprisonment and empowerment; and domestic violence. She has recently published four articles and two books in these areas including The Criminal Justice System and Women: Offenders, Prisoners, Victims, and Workers, 3rd Ed. (with Barbara Raffel Price, McGraw-Hill, 2004) and Domestic Violence at the Margins: Readings on Race, Class, Gender and Culture (with Christina Pratt, Rutgers University Press, 2005). Her most recent research is on domestic violence in immigrant communities. With the growing importance of issues concerning criminal justice and gender over the last 30 years, her cutting-edge work appeals to large and wide ranging audiences.

 

Her approach is to use a framework which understands that the socially structured systems of race and class inequality are equally as important as gender inequality when studying women’s increasing incarceration rate and the violence that women experience. In 2004-2005 she was honored with two awards: the 2004-2005 Outstanding Teacher Award at John Jay College and the 2005 American Society of Criminology’s Distinguished Scholar Award from the Division on Women and Crime. And in 2006 she was one several faculty awarded the Outstanding Scholar Award.
