We found a positive correlation between perceptions of procedural justice and cooperation among Kenyan women immigrants. Conversely, prior victimization was inversely associated with help-seeking among these women. When Kenyan female immigrants perceived high police effectiveness in dealing with IPV, they were more likely to feel obligated to obey the U.S. police. Implications and recommendations for future research are discussed.","PeriodicalId":51587,"journal":{"name":"Feminist Criminology","volume":"17 1","pages":"587 - 618"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2022-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42331918","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The bad mother narrative has been superimposed on Black women through controlling images. Through in-depth interviews with formerly incarcerated Black mothers, I demonstrate how formerly incarcerated Black women invert controlling images through how they frame their mothering choices. Their reframing of their mothering choices reveals that formerly incarcerated Black mothers have mothering practices that entail good mothering and goes beyond the white imaginary. These mothering practices reveal a redefinition of motherhood that provides greater understanding of how formerly incarcerated Black mothers understand and make sense of their mothering choices.","PeriodicalId":51587,"journal":{"name":"Feminist Criminology","volume":"17 1","pages":"450 - 470"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2022-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44625511","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

More recently, scholars have turned their attention to examining the role of Title IX in addressing sexual misconduct and how IHEs’ policies and practices under Title IX do or do not serve complainants (i.e., alleged victims), respondents (i.e., alleged perpetrators), and the overall campus community. At IHEs, when an alleged incident of sexual misconduct is reported to a Title IX coordinator a common expectation is that (1) the report will result in a formal complaint of a policy violation and (2) be investigated by the Title IX coordinator; (3) that a hearing panel will then determine whether the respondent or respondents violated the IHE’s policy as outlined in the formal complaint, and (4) if a policy violation is found, sanctions will be levied against the responsible party or parties. In practice, however, most reported incidents of sexual misconduct do not result in a formal Title IX complaint and investigation, and many investigated incidents do not result in a finding of a policy violation or sanction (Rennison, 2018; Richards, 2019; Richards et al., 2021). For example, in 2018–2019, across 209 institutions of higher education in New York, only 769 (20%) of the 3829 incidents reported to a Title IX coordinator resulted in a formal complaint and investigation and 412 investigated cases resulted in a policy violation and sanction (Richards et al., 2021).

Drawing upon interviews with criminal justice professionals, I illuminate the inadequacy of the justice gap as a measure of victim-centered justice. Through policy reforms, the Swedish criminal justice system has instituted victim-centered practices that offer victim-survivors alternative forms of justice without increasing the prosecution rate.","PeriodicalId":51587,"journal":{"name":"Feminist Criminology","volume":"18 1","pages":"45 - 64"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2022-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46674007","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
