This punitive impulse, prominent legal scholar Aya Gruber argues, is dangerous and counterproductive. In their quest to secure women's protection from domestic violence and rape, American feminists have become soldiers in the war on crime by emphasizing white female victimhood, expanding the power of police and prosecutors, touting the problem-solving power of incarceration, and diverting resources toward law enforcement and away from marginalized communities. Deploying vivid cases and unflinching analysis, The Feminist War on Crime documents the failure of the state to combat sexual and domestic violence through law and punishment. Zero-tolerance anti-violence law and policy tend to make women less safe and more fragile. Mandatory arrests, no-drop prosecutions, forced separation, and incarceration embroil poor women of color in a criminal justice system that is historically hostile to them. This carceral approach exacerbates social inequalities by diverting more power and resources toward a fundamentally flawed criminal justice system, further harming victims, perpetrators, and communities alike. In order to reverse this troubling course, Gruber contends that we must abandon the conventional feminist wisdom, fight violence against women without reinforcing the American prison state, and use criminalization as a technique of last-not first-resort"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Women $x Law and legislation $x Law and legislation $z United States. 650 0 $a Women prisoners $z United States. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2010118879 650 0 $a Feminist criminology $z United States. 650 0 $a Criminal justice, Administration of $z United States. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh86006644 650 7 $a Criminal justice, Administration of. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00883246 650 7 $a Feminist criminology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00922758 650 7 $a Women $x Law and legislation. $x Law and legislation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01983809 650 7 $a Women prisoners. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01178398 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 650 7 $a Frau. $2 gnd 650 7 $a GewalttaÌtigkeit. $2 gnd 650 7 $a Kriminalpolitik. $2 gnd 650 7 $a Unterprivilegierung. $2 gnd 650 7 $a Verbrechensopfer. $2 gnd 651 7 $a USA. $2 gnd 776 08 $i Online version: $a Gruber, Aya. $t The feminist war on crime $d Oakland, California : University of California Press, [2020] $z 9780520973145 $w (DLC) 2019049550 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231017013729.0 952 $l PMAX975 $d 20210721095619.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0484C5009F4311EBBB7E29A634ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
