Abstract

Using interview data from 23 mothers in jail, we detail how jailed mothers use oppositional identity work to challenge maternal stigma. Their reframing of “good” mothering prioritizes children’s emotional security and physical safety over intensive, hands-on child-care. Findings suggest that oppositional identity work helps mothers cope with internal and external attributions of maternal failure. Findings also highlight the limits of oppositional identity work from the margins for countering entrenched social norms. We conclude with a call to build correctional practices and policies that reflect the lived realities of marginalized mothers in ways that support rather than stigmatize them.

优先保护：被监禁妇女如何挑战母亲的耻辱

通过对23名入狱母亲的访谈数据，我们详细介绍了入狱母亲如何使用对立身份工作来挑战母亲的耻辱。他们重新定义的“好”母亲优先考虑孩子的情感安全和身体安全，而不是密集的、亲力亲为的儿童护理。研究结果表明，对立认同工作有助于母亲应对母性失败的内部和外部归因。研究结果还强调了从边缘对抗根深蒂固的社会规范的对立身份工作的局限性。最后，我们呼吁建立反映边缘化母亲生活现实的矫正做法和政策，以支持而不是污名化她们。

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.
