A profound, compelling argument for abolition feminism—to protect
criminalized survivors of gender-based violence, we must dismantle
the carceral system. Â Since the 1970s, anti-violence
advocates have worked to make the legal system more responsive to
gender-based violence. But greater state intervention in cases of
intimate partner violence, rape, sexual assault, and trafficking
has led to the arrest, prosecution, conviction, and incarceration
of victims, particularly women of color and trans and
gender-nonconforming people. Imperfect Victims argues that only
dismantling the system will bring that punishment to an end.Â
 Amplifying the voices of survivors, including her own
clients, abolitionist law professor Leigh Goodmark deftly guides
readers on a step-by-step journey through the criminalization of
survival. Abolition feminism reveals the possibility of a just
world beyond the carceral state, which is fundamentally unable to
respond to, let alone remedy, harm. As Imperfect Victims shows,
abolition feminism is the only politics and practice that can undo
the indescribable damage inflicted on survivors by the very system
purporting to protect them. Â
