Centering Mothers in Feminist Criminology: A Critical Review of Literature on Mothers of Victims and Offenders
This article reviews the literature on mothers of victims and mothers of offenders through a feminist criminological lens. Results of our analysis of 52 articles from a twenty-year period indicated that, though situated on opposite sides of the criminal justice system, aspects of the experiences of mothers of victims and offenders were similar. Specifically, the mothers shared perceived accountability for their offspring’s involvement in crime, t…
Now there is no escape’: The impact of the Covid-19 social restrictions on parents experiencing violence and abuse from their children
Child- and adolescent-to-parent violence and abuse (CAPVA) has gained recognition over the past decade and, to an extent, gained momentum on the violence against women and girls (VAWG) policy agenda. However, CAPVA remains subordinate to the omnipresent problem of violence and abuse perpetrated by current and former intimate partners, as do responses to this often-hidden form of violence. This was especially apparent during the peak of the COVID-…
The value of liminal cases in developing a narrative victimology: The case of families of people serving an indeterminate sentence for public protection
This article contributes to the emerging literature on narrative victimology by examining what we will suggest to be a telling ‘liminal case’: families of people sentenced to Imprisonment for Public Protection in England and Wales. We draw on qualitative research conducted with families of people sentenced to Imprisonment for Public Protection to explore how they narrated their experiences and show that while their own predominant narratives do o…
Who counts? The invisibility of mothers as victims of femicide
This article focuses on the important and persistent phenomenon of women killed by their sons. We argue that parricide (the killing of parents) is a gendered form of violence, given that women are disproportionately represented as victims compared to other forms of violence (aside from domestic homicide by current or ex partners) and that son-mother killings are a form of femicide that is often hidden. Not only do they fall under literal definiti…
Parricide, Mental Illness, and Parental Proximity: The Gendered Contexts of Parricide in England and Wales
Parricide is underresearched in the UK, and the contexts of this gendered form of violence are poorly understood. Heide's typology provides an advanced understanding of parricide in the United States, where the majority of parent-killings involve firearms. This article develops a UK-based analysis of the contexts of parricide, combining national statistics with police case study data ( n = 57) and case review data ( n = 21). Our findings indicate…
The Pains of Hope: Families of Indeterminate Sentenced Prisoners and Political Campaigning by Lay Citizens
This paper examines the politics of crime and insecurity as experienced ‘from below’. We draw on in-depth interviews with families of indeterminate-sentenced prisoners, and policy participants, in order to understand families’ experiences of their relative’s imprisonment under the discredited English Imprisonment for Public Protection (IPP) sentence and their public campaigning against it. We situate these experiences within broader structural tr…
Conceptualizing the effects of imprisonment on families: Collateral consequences, secondary punishment, or symbiotic harms
This article explores how we might best understand the effects of imprisonment on families and why this is important to a full understanding of prison as a form of punishment. The effects on families have broadly been understood within previous literature in one of two ways: either as ‘collateral consequences’, or as a form of secondary punishment extended to the family member. We suggest that the first of these descriptions is at best insufficie…
The Sociology of Punishment and the Effects of Imprisonment on Families
This chapter considers the impact of criminal justice and particularly prison upon the families of offenders and the ways in which they are drawn into the realm of punishment. It explores how imprisonment creates, reproduces, and reinforces patterns of social inequality. The chapter shows how prisoners’ families occupy an odd position of an increasing visibility in the academic realm. Much earlier work on prisoners’ families was concerned with id…
Prisoners’ Families and the Problem of Social Justice
This chapter explores the wide-ranging impact of imprisonment upon the lives of the families of prisoners and the entrenched social inequalities that this both generates and reinforces. It considers the concept of social justice and whether it is useful to this enterprise. The chapter furthermore questions why the families of prisoners are faced with many difficulties. It applies theories of social justice to the consequences experienced by famil…
Prisons, Punishment, and the Family
This book draws together chapters from eight countries to explore the severe effects that prison has on the families of prisoners. There are millions of people affected by the imprisonment of a family member each year and they suffer a wide range of difficulties. This has important implications for society as prisoners’ families experience social exclusion and inequality, despite being innocent citizens. This is important for how we think about t…
Responding to Adolescent to Parent Violence: Challenges for Policy and Practice
Adolescent to parent violence has historically been a silent problem, absent from official discourse surrounding domestic violence, parenting or youth justice. In recent policy and legislation, adolescent to parent violence is increasingly being recognized as a form of domestic violence; however, this conceptualization bears significant response implications. In this paper, the challenges of responding to adolescent to parent violence within a do…
Adolescent to parent violence: The police response to parents reporting violence from their children
Adolescent to parent violence is a form of family violence that is currently unrecognised in official discourse and statistics, despite increasing evidence that it is a significant problem. The data underpinning this article have been derived from the first large-scale study in the UK specifically exploring adolescent to parent violence, which examined the extent and nature of this problem, families’ experiences, and how reports of adolescent to …
Families Shamed: The Consequences of Crime for Relatives of Serious Offenders
This book examines the experiences of relatives of those accused or convicted of serious crimes such as murder, manslaughter, rape and sex offences. A broader literature exists on prisoners' families, but few studies have looked specifically at those related to serious offenders, or considered their experience other than as prison visitors. Many of the difficulties faced by 'mundane' prisoners' families are magnified for the relatives of serious …
Adolescent to parent violence: Framing and mapping a hidden problem
Adolescent to parent violence is virtually absent from policing, youth justice and domestic violence policy, despite being widely recognized by practitioners in those fields. It is under-researched and rarely appears in criminological discussions of family or youth violence. This article presents the first UK analysis of cases of adolescent to parent violence reported to the police. We analyse victim, offender and incident characteristics from 18…
Adolescent to Parent Violence and Youth Justice in England and Wales
Adolescent to parent violence is a problem which remains largely unarticulated within youth justice policy literature and academic discourse in England and Wales. This article presents research evidence suggesting that adolescent to parent violence is a significant problem which needs to be clearly addressed in the youth justice policy agenda. Although it is widely recognised by practitioners and regularly encountered in their work, there is a ‘s…
