Abstract

This study explores the experiences of 18 maternal intimate partner violence (IPV) survivors seeking protection through civil courts. The mothers described a core experience of navigating protective precarity-the juxtaposition of seeking protection yet experiencing increased vulnerability. Three themes of navigating protective precarity include (i) fathers' rights versus survivors' safety; (ii) constrained survivor agency, and (iii) systemic unshielding. Paradoxical system responses leave adult and child survivors vulnerable to additional harm. We discuss how these findings can inform policies and system change that centers adult and child safety and well-being.

导航保护的不稳定性：对亲密伴侣暴力的母亲幸存者的民事保护令和儿童监护的专题分析。

本研究探讨了18名孕产妇亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）幸存者通过民事法院寻求保护的经历。母亲们描述了一种核心体验，即在寻求保护的同时又经历着日益增加的脆弱性。应对保护性不稳定性的三个主题包括：(i)父亲的权利与幸存者的安全；（ii）受约束的幸存者代理，以及（iii）系统性的不保护。矛盾的系统反应使成人和儿童幸存者容易受到额外的伤害。我们将讨论这些发现如何为以成人和儿童安全和福祉为中心的政策和制度变革提供信息。

期刊介绍： The main aim of Feminist Criminology is to focus on research related to women, girls and crime. The scope includes research on women working in the criminal justice profession, women as offenders and how they are dealt with in the criminal justice system, women as victims, and theories and tests of theories related to women and crime. The feminist critique of criminology incorporates a perspective that the paths to crime differ for males and females, thus research that uses sex as a control variable often fails to illuminate the factors that predict female criminality. This journal will highlight research that takes a perspective designed to demonstrate the gendered nature of crime and responses to crime.
