“…One of the main contributions of the present study is an insight that doing marginalized motherhood differs widely depending upon which life phase the mothers are in and the institutional and societal context of their mothering. Our study also reveals the importance of including situated experiences of culture (Machado et al 2010), and the importance of studying marginalized mothering beyond gendered Northern foundations (Walklate 2018) or beyond the Global North (Carrington et al 2016).…”

This study examines the mothering practices and identities of incarcerated women in Mexico. Data gathered from repeated life-story interviews with 12 women, were analyzed to describe mothering practices in the different phases of incarcerated women’s’ lives. We argue that knowledge of the Latin American context is crucial to understand their experiences of motherhood. In a society based on familism and marianismo identities that suffers from a lack of welfare institutions, motherhood provided a way for socially and economically excluded women to escape destructive family environments and gain autonomy. Motherhood also provided a way to cope with the stigma of delinquency. Using the framework of Southern Criminology, we explore the importance of marginalized motherhood in this tradition. The results reveal the tragic paradox of motherhood for incarcerated women and the importance of studying marginalized mothering beyond the Global North.

“…Thus, while there is evidence of congruence with the earlier European (Moore, 2011). The ability of surveillance to dismantle and disaggregate personal identity and then to subsequently reconstruct a virtual identity can have positive and negative implications, which means that an awareness of structures of patriarchal oppression need to be embedded into programs that involve repeat victims of violence (Walklate, 2018). Similar technologies have been used in India, including in Delhi and in Punjab (Mason et al, 2015;Paterson and& Williams, 2018), as a response to concerns about citizen security, that werewhich was mobilized by NGOs and community action groups to encourage innovation and change.…”

The evolution of criminal justice technologies is inextricably linked to the emergence of new modes of electronic and digital governance that have become essential components of a surveillance and crime control culture continually seeking out novel responses to actual and perceived threats. The slow emergence of these technologies in the second part of the 20th century was often theorized through a discourse of order and control that has subsequently evolved in the 21st century to emphasize the protective potential of technologies oriented toward the interests of victims. The potential of criminal justice technologies to improve public safety and address issues of repeat victimization has now been subjected to significant scrutiny from scholars across the globe. While it would be conceptually inaccurate to split offenders and victims into two discrete groups, there has been an increase in analytical focus upon the intersections between victims of crime and technology within the context of criminal justice processes that had traditionally been oriented toward offenders. A more sophisticated understanding of the psychological and behavioral potential of criminal justice technologies has emerged that has permanently adjusted the landscape of crime and disorder management and has had a transformative impact upon the relationship between victims, technology, and criminal justice. Yet, at the same time, the integration of digital technologies into the crime control and criminal justice infrastructure still is at an early stage in its evolution, with future trends and patterns uncertain.

“…Femicides have increased during the COVID-19 pandemic (FBSP 2020b). The agenda of southern criminology proposes a more locally nuanced and culturally sensitive response to violence against women (Walklate 2018). Most research about gender violence has been conducted in the large English-speaking cities of the Global North (Carrington et al 2020).…”

This article presents the results of a death review study of 34 cases of femicide in the Federal District, Brazil, between 2016 and 2017. The aim of the study is to analyse how primary, secondary and tertiary prevention policies could have enhanced the prevention of these particular femicides. The study uses a mixed-method research design to analyse the judicial and health files of victims and perpetrators, supplemented by semi-structured interviews with surviving relatives. The findings highlight the need for an intersectional approach to gender, race, class and migration status in prevention policies; better risk assessment and management; enhanced women’s reporting of domestic violence earlier; and better integration of the justice system with psychosocial services. The increase of violence against women during the COVID-19 pandemic strengthens the need for an integrated approach to the prevention of lethal gender violence. This paper provides an original contribution to better comprehend the profile of femicide victims and perpetrators with a view on how to improve prevention policies in Brazil.
