Abstract: Progressive feminists have always approached the issue of mandatory arrest in incidents of domestic assault with ambivalence.On the one hand, the criminalization of sexual assault and domestic violence was in one sense a huge symbolic victory for feminist activists and scholars alike. After centuries of ignoring the private victimizations of women, police and courts were called to account by those who founded rape crisis centers and shelters for battered women and those whose pathbreaking research laid the fou… Show more

“…Research suggests that mandatory arrest policies disproportionately affect low-income women and women of color (Bureau of Criminal Information and Analysis, 1999;Chesney-Lind, 2002;INCITE!, 2001;Richie, 2012) by both increasing arrest and incarceration rates (Crenshaw, 1991;INCITE!, 2006;Mogul, Ritchie, & Whitlock, 2011;Richie, 2006;Wacquant, 2009), and also by increasing the likelihood the survivor will be killed by an abuser. Sherman and Harris (2015) found that among African American women in Milwaukee, arrest increased mortality by 98% compared to 9% among arrested white women.…”

“…Others have argued that criminalization has not benefited all women (Mills, 2003;Presser & Gaarder, 2000). Chesney-Lind (2002), INCITE! (2001, Kim (2012), and Danis (2003) among others have noted that increased criminalization of DV has had a range of unintended consequences for a number of marginalized populations including women of color, undocumented immigrants, poor, transgender people, lesbians, women with disabilities, and sex workers.…”

“…Christie (1986b) and others (Rock, 2004) have since established how these ideals legitimate the experiences of some individuals and dismiss those of others at both the individual and social system levels. Pervasive within social discourse, notions of the ideal victim and offender identities serve as a form of social control (Balfour, 2008;Chesney-Lind, 2002) and are constituted along gender, race, and class divisions (Comack, 1999;Kilty and Fabian, 2010). The field of critical victimology cautions, however, that these categories are highly malleable and responsive to historical and cultural contexts.…”

“…Taken together, these findings from retrospective interviews and quantitative research suggest that experiences of physical and sexual victimization in childhood and adulthood, poverty, and substance use are commonly observed among women involved with the criminal justice system, contributing to their criminal justice involvement and recidivism (Browne et al, 1999;Chesney-Lind, 2002a;Chesney-Lind & Shelden, 2004; especially beginning in childhood, takes a primary role in this perspective, positing that childhood victimization is a catalyst to later criminal justice involvement as girls make attempts to escape abusive home environments or self-medicate the psychological distress that they experience as a result of the victimization experience(s) through several common attempts to cope. Research evidence suggests that childhood victimization may have particularly deleterious consequences for women involved with the criminal justice system as compared to adult victimization (e.g., intimate partner violence; adult stranger rape or sexual assault, etc.)…”

“…The link between childhood victimization and current homelessness has been explored and supported by a number of researchers (Evenson, 2009;Mental Health Policy Research Group, 1998;Rattelade, Farrell, Aubry, & Klodawsky, 2014). This link has also been examined within the context of the gendered pathways perspective which highlights a path between early victimization experiences for girls and their subsequent running away to escape these traumas (Chesney-Lind, 2002b;Chesney-Lind & Pasko, 2004;Chesney-Lind & Shelden, 2004;Daly, 1992). These girls and young women often find themselves living on the streets engaging in petty crime and/or prostitution, or are considered runaways, and thus become involved with the criminal justice system.…”
