The Power of Naming
A pilot project was conducted in the English Midlands to better understand how violence in family settings is described and defined. We present qualitative data from focus groups with mothers who have experienced violence in their families and practitioners working to address such experiences. Drawing upon this evidence, we show the importance of developing a shared, contextualized understanding of family violence to clearly identify what survivo…
Because it’s fun’
Girls’ alcohol and other drug (AOD) use are depicted culturally as problematic. In this comparative, qualitative, study the voices of 59 English and American justice-involved girls give a counter-hegemonic portrayal of their alcohol and marijuana use. In their stories, we see how their AOD use is pleasurable and boundaried. AOD use involves negotiated risk within the situated context of shared experience and friendship networks that heighten and …
The Politics of Sorrow
“Sometimes One Does That With Blinders On”
When girls use violence to discharge their rage, the first response by law enforcement and treatment providers is to stop the behaviors through control of the offender. This article examines extant juvenile justice and child welfare policies and practices that function as social control and surveillance mechanisms of girls who violate behavioral expectations and/or social norms through violent behaviors. Case studies reveal tensions between punis…

Psychosocial Perspectives of Girls and Violence
Cracked Perspectives
We examine effects of the Crack Cocaine Era on two generations of females. Interviews were conducted (1996-2001 for separate National Institute on Drug Abuse-funded projects) with 58 women and 24 girls born into distinct drug eras (Crack Generation and Marijuana Generation). Using attachment theory as a framework, we analyze each cohort’s drug involvement and family relationships. Women’s crack use contributed to disrupted attachments and girls’ …
I Wasn’t Really Bonded with My Family
Incarceration and the Community
Prior research has established that the characteristics of “places” are an important aspect of public safety and local quality of life. Growth in the rates of incarceration since 1973, combined with social disparity in the experience of imprisonment among certain groups, has meant that some communities experience concentrated levels of incarceration. This article examines the spatial impact of incarceration and explores the problems associated wi…
