The Effects of Violence on Communities: The Violence Matrix as a Tool for Advancing More Just Policies
In this essay, I illustrate how discussions of the effects of violence on communities are enhanced by the use of a critical framework that links various microvariables with macro-institutional processes. Drawing upon my work on the issue of violent victimization toward African American women and how conventional justice policies have failed to bring effective remedy in situations of extreme danger and degradation, I argue that a broader conceptua…
Colluding With and Resisting the State: Organizing Against Gender Violence in the U.S
The movements for racial justice, health equity, and economic relief have been activated in the contentious and challenging climate of 2020, with COVID-19 and social protest. In this context, feminist scholars, anti-violence advocates, and transformative justice practitioners have renewed their call for substantive changes to all forms of gender-based violence. This article offers a genealogy of the battered women’s movement in the U.S. from the …
Punishment by Association: The Burden of Attending Court for Legal Bystanders
Scholars have shown how legal bystanders experience punishment at the hands of the state in their homes and neighborhoods, as well as jails and prisons. Other scholars have shown how bureaucratic processes, such as attending court, are punitive toward people charged with crimes. There is less information about how legal bystanders also experience punishment in courtrooms. In this article, we bridge the literatures between secondary prisonization …

Black Women, Male Violence, and the Buildup of a Prison Nation
The Problem of Male Violence against Black Women
Introduction
How We Won the Mainstream but Lost the Movement
Arrested Justice: Black Women, Violence, and America’s Prison Nation
Black women in marginalized communities are uniquely at risk of battering, rape, sexual harassment, stalking and incest. Through the compelling stories of Black women who have been most affected by racism, persistent poverty, class inequality, limited access to support resources or institutions, Beth E. Richie shows that the threat of violence to Black women has never been more serious, demonstrating how conservative legal, social, political and …
Resisting Carcerality, Embracing Abolition: Implications for Feminist Social Work Practice
Compelled to Crime: The Gender Entrapment of Battered Black Women
Female Offenders and Women in Prison
Feminist Politics, Racialized Imagery, and Social Control: Reproductive Injustice in the Age of Obama
This article looks at how dominant feminist narratives regarding the expansion of women's political rights is limited by their inattention to issues of race, sexuality, class and other variables that limit women's freedom. The authors argue that rhetorical claims about "gender progress" mask very significant differences among various sub-groups of women with regard to their ability to exercise their rights to control many aspects of their lives; …
Women and Drug Use: The Case for a Justice Analysis
Extensive data link women's use of drugs and their subsequent involvement in illegal activity to their growing involvement with the criminal justice system. Although research has established causal factors and consequences for drug use among women, these factors do not take into account the fundamental social injustices that also contribute to drug use among women, including interactions with social institutions, social sigma, and punitive public…
Coming Home From Jail: The Social and Health Consequences of Community Reentry for Women, Male Adolescents, and Their Families and Communities
Each year, more than 10 million people enter US jails, most returning home within a few weeks. Because jails concentrate people with infectious and chronic diseases, substance abuse, and mental health problems, and reentry policies often exacerbate these problems, the experiences of people leaving jail may contribute to health inequities in the low-income communities to which they return. Our study of the experiences in the year after release of …
Feminist Ethnographies of Women in Prison
I CANNOT IMAGINE A PLACE where one might stand and have a clearer view of concentrated disadvantage based on racial, class, and gender in equality in the country then from inside the walls of a women's prison. There, behind the razor wire fences, concrete barricades, steel doors, metal bars, and thick plexiglass windows, nearly all of the manifestations of gender domination that feminist scholars and activists have traditional ly concerned themse…
Violent Crime: Assessing Race and Ethnic Differences
Analysts have long noted that some societies have much higher rates of criminal violence than others. They have also observed that the risk of being a victim or a perpetrator of violent crime varies considerably from one individual to another. In societies with ethnically and racially diverse populations, some ethnic and racial groups have been reported to have higher rates of violent offending and victimization than other groups. This exceptiona…
Challenges Incarcerated Women Face as They Return to Their Communities: Findings from Life History Interviews
This article uses results of a qualitative research project to describe the challenges that incarcerated women face as they return to their communities from jail or prison. Following a descriptive profile of the population, the particular challenges are discussed, focusing on the gender and culturally specific needs that formerly incarcerated women from low-income communities face upon release from correctional facilities in this country. The art…
