A profound, compelling argument for abolition feminism-to protect
criminalized survivors of gender-based violence, we must dismantle
the carceral system. 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. 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.
