There is an expectation that women will be nurturers and carers.
Women who have been judged violent, destructive and criminal and
who are detained in the criminal justice system can find themselves
perceived through a distorted lens as unwomanly. This book explains
how they become hypervisible in their difference, while the
histories of trauma and suffering that are communicated through
their offending and other risk behaviour remain hidden, and so are
unseen. Bringing together authors uniquely placed as experts in
their fields, Invisible Trauma argues that it is essential to trace
the traumatic roots of women's violence and criminality. Powerful
intergenerational factors perpetuate the cycles of offending and
trauma re-enactment that current sentencing practice overlooks. The
authors present a psychoanalytically informed account of the
development of violence and other offending, identifying pathways
for change to address trauma within the lives of these women and
their children, and also to create a responsive, effective and
sensitive workforce. Invisible Trauma highlights the role of
emotional, social and cultural forces in traumatising women who
come into contact with the criminal justice system and uncovers
areas of their lives that are all too often hidden from view. It
will be invaluable to those working in clinical and forensic
psychology, mental health nursing, psychotherapy, social work,
medical practice and women's health, as well as frontline
practitioners in the criminal justice system, the health service
and third sector organisations and for anyone with an interest in
racism, equality and social justice.
