ASC Division of Feminist Criminology (DFC)
[Formerly Division on Women & Crime (DWC)]
The ASC Board approved the creation of the ASC Division on Women and Crime (Current Co-Chairs: Shavonne Arthurs, Samantha Gavin) at its Board Meeting on November 14, 1981. The DWC formally came into existence as of 3:30 pm on Thursday, November 4, 1982 when the DWC held its first meeting in the Windsor East room of the Toronto Sheraton Hotel. At that meeting, a provisional Executive Board was appointed, with Dr. P.J. Baunach being named chair. The first elected Executive Board took office in 1984, which is the year the division recognizes as its true “founding.” The Division on Women and Crime celebrated its twentieth anniversary in 2004, and celebrated its thirtieth anniversary in 2014 in San Francisco. The full history and archives are available on the DWC website.
In the Fall of 2022, DWC changed the name of the division to the Division of Feminist Criminology.
