Content Warning: sexual assault, child abuse, addiction, racism, and other heavy themes are discussed. Host Shawna Potter talks to Clementine Morrigan and Jay Lesoleil, the hosts of Fucking Cancelled (two L's because they're Canadian), a podcast that examines all things related to cancel culture in lefty/progressive circles. In this episode, Shawna aims to learn more about their critiques and what influenced them. They talk about real life experiences with cancel culture, the effects it has on victims of violence, trauma-responses, how to best support survivors of rape, sexual assault, and abuse, and so much more. If you're asking yourself, “What's the big deal, aren't call outs just a consequence of bad behavior?” you're not alone - and they have an answer ready. This episode does not cover every facet or nuance of responding to harm. It should be noted that most of the content centers on gender-based violence, and therefore might not sufficiently address racism and other forms of identity-based violence. There is no one right way to respond to your own abuse or assault. While public call-outs are one tool in the toolbox, the guests of this episode argue that it is an ineffective and overused one.

Today, Hunter starts on part one of a three-part series on criminalized survivors of domestic violence. Kicking off this miniseries is Professor Leigh Goodmark. A former Public Defender herself, Leigh brings multiple decades of experience working with and writing about criminalized domestic violence survivors. On today's episode, Hunter and Leigh primarily discuss her journey to abolition, decriminalization, and the stories/data that made her conclude that the carceral system is not the appropriate response for domestic violence.     Guests: Leigh Goodmark, Professor of Law and Director of Gender Prison and Trauma Clinic, University of Maryland School of Law.     Resources: Get a Copy of Imperfect Victims https://www.ucpress.edu/book/9780520391123/imperfect-victims Get a Copy of Decriminalizing domestic Violence https://www.ucpress.edu/book/9780520295575/decriminalizing-domestic-violence Contact Leigh https://www.law.umaryland.edu/faculty--research/directory/profile/index.php?id=982 Compelled to Crime https://www.amazon.com/Compelled-Crime-Gender-Entrapment-Battered/dp/0415911451     Contact Hunter Parnell:                                 Publicdefenseless@gmail.com  Instagram @PublicDefenselessPodcast Twitter                                                                 @PDefenselessPod www.publicdefenseless.com  Subscribe to the Patron www.patreon.com/PublicDefenselessPodcast  Donate on PayPal https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=5KW7WMJWEXTAJ Donate on Stripe https://donate.stripe.com/7sI01tb2v3dwaM8cMN  

What happens to survivors of violence — often perpetrated by intimates — who defend themselves against their attackers? According to legal scholar Leigh Goodmark, it often depends on whether those survivors look suitably victim-like. She discusses the circumstances that frequently lead to the criminalization of survivors of violence –- and makes the case for the abolition of a punitive legal system. (Encore presentation.) Resources: Leigh Goodmark, Imperfect Victims: Criminalized Survivors and the Promise of Abolition Feminism UC Press, 2023 The post Criminalizing the Victims of Intimate Partner Violence appeared first on KPFA.

Criminalization of gender-based violence was meant to protect victims of 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 those victims—the criminalization of survival. Victims of violence are regularly punished by the criminal legal system. Our guest, Leigh Goodmark, argues that only dismantling the system will bring that punishment to an end. Leigh Goodmark is the Marjorie Cook Professor of Law at the University of Maryland Frances King Carey School of Law. She co-directs the Clinical Law Program, teaches Family Law, Gender and the Law, and Gender Violence and the Law, and directs the Gender Violence Clinic, a clinic providing direct representation in matters involving intimate partner abuse, sexual assault, trafficking, and other forms of gender violence. Goodmark has been questioning the criminal legal system's response to gender-based violence for more than twenty years. Her latest book is called Imperfect Victims: Criminalized Survivors and the Promise of Abolition Feminism.

Leigh Goodmark's new book, Imperfect Victims: Criminalized Survivors and the Promise of Abolition Feminism (U California Press, 2023), uses the stories of individual criminalized survivors of gender based violence to illuminate the ways that the criminal legal system perpetuates violence against the very women, transgender people, and gender non-conforming people it claims to protect. Leigh argues that reform is not the answer to this problem, and that instead of limiting our efforts and imaginations to the pursuit of reforms that ultimately expand the reach of the criminal legal system, we should invest in abolition feminism and a world of non-carceral supports and resources like housing, healthcare, and education instead of arrest, prosecution, and incarceration.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month and we're going to spend some time exploring community responses to domestic or interpersonal violence. Every year nearly 5.3 million incidents of intimate partner violence occurs in the United States among women 18 years and older. Intimate partner violence results in nearly 1,300 death and two million injuries every single year. If we are ever going to end or even reduce this epidemic, we have got to do something different. Our guest in this episode is Leigh Goodmark, the Marjorie Cook Professor of Law at the University of Maryland Frances King Carey School of Law. Professor Goodmark co-directs the Clinical Law Program, teaches Family Law, Gender and the Law, and Gender Violence and the Law, and directs the Gender Violence Clinic, a clinic providing direct representation in matters involving intimate partner abuse, sexual assault, trafficking, and other forms of gender violence. Goodmark has been questioning the criminal legal system's response to gender-based violence for more than twenty years. In her books, articles, and media appearances Professor Goodmark has argued that the criminal legal system fails to decrease or deter gender-based violence and punishes the victims of that violence. Professor Goodmark's critique of the criminal legal system is grounded in her twenty-five years of representing people abused by their partners and incarcerated survivors of violence abused by the state. Today, we discuss her 2018 book, Decriminalizing Domestic Violence: A Balanced Policy Approach to Intimate Partner Violence.

In January this year, the only woman on federal death row Lisa Montgomery, was given a lethal injection. Since then, there's been changes to federal executions in the US and people have spoken out about failings in the case against her. We revisit an episode where host Noel Phillips is joined by members of Lisa Montgomery's legal campaign. He talks to Sandra Babcock, who is clinical professor at Cornell Law School and the faculty director of the Cornell Center on the Death Penalty Worldwide, along with Leigh Goodmark, professor of law and director of the Gender Violence Clinic at the University of Maryland, and J.D. Gordon, a former senior policy adviser to Donald Trump. This podcast contains graphic details of violence and sexual abuse that some listeners may find distressing.

Around 2.3 million people in the UK have received 2.6 million doses of vaccine. Yesterday we heard they're planning to vaccinate 2 million people a week, until the middle of February with the aim of reaching the most vulnerable who've accounted for 88% of deaths from Covid 19 so far. A recent poll showed more than a quarter of 18-to-34-year-old women said they would say no to a Covid jab, citing concerns over the vaccines effect on their fertility and pregnancies. Emma talks to Professor Lucy Chappell, Research Professor in Obstetrics at Kings College in London and spokesperson for the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists; and to the Vaccine Deployment Minister Nadhim Zahawi. Lisa Montgomery, the only woman on federal death row, was due to be executed by lethal injection later today, but a reprieve has been granted. Lisa was convicted for the gruesome murder of a 23-year-old woman who was eight months pregnant. The baby miraculously survived. Emma speaks to Leigh Goodmark, Marjorie Cook Professor of Law and Co-Director, Clinical Law Program. She assisted the defence team with advocacy for Ms. Montgomery.

Just a warning, this podcast contains graphic details of violence and sexual abuse that some listeners may find distressing. The Trump administration has carried out the most federal executions for 130 years. After a 17-year hiatus, the president had them resumed in July 2020. Since then, the US government has applied the death penalty to 10 people. On Tuesday 12 January, the only woman on federal death row, Lisa Montgomery, is scheduled to be killed by lethal injection. If this goes ahead, she will be the first woman to be put to death by the federal government in 70 years. In this episode of the Sky News Daily podcast, host Noel Phillips is joined by members of Lisa Montgomery's legal campaign. To explain why the president is pursuing these federal executions, he talks to Sandra Babcock, who is clinical professor at Cornell Law School and the faculty director of the Cornell Center on the Death Penalty Worldwide, along with Leigh Goodmark, professor of law and director of the Gender Violence Clinic at the University of Maryland, and J.D. Gordon, a former senior policy adviser to Donald Trump.

The last few decades has seen the dramatic rise of the criminalization of domestic violence perpetration across the globe. As a result, police have received a large share of domestic violence funding and partnerships between law enforcement and advocates have become the norm. But if only 20% of survivors feel safer after calling the police , then it is important to think critically about the relationship between survivors and their advocates, and the criminal justice system. In this episode, David & Ruth explore the relationship between advocates and law enforcement with author and law school professor Leigh Goodmark and a team from Embrace, a network of Refuge's serving communities rural Wisconsin. The Embrace team shares the story of how funding was clawed back by a sheriff and local government council who objected to their support for the Black Lives Matter movement, racial equity and police reform. They discuss the realities of advocacy in the current atmosphere of calls for police reform, and how law enforcement's response sometimes has a chilling effect on victims of violence seeking assistance. Leigh Goodmark shares her insights into the history of advocacy within the context of the carceral system.

In this episode, Leigh Goodmark, Marjorie Cook Professor of Law and Co-Director of the Clinical Law Program at the University of Maryland Carey School of Law, discusses her book Decriminalizing Domestic Partner Violence: A Balanced Policy Approach to Intimate Partner Violence. Goodmark begins by discussing the history of prosecution of domestic violence in the United States and its eventual criminalization starting in the 1970s. She then discusses how this focus on criminalization essentializes victims of intimate partner violence. Goodmark explains the disparate impact of neoliberal economic policies on communities of color and the poor, as well as explaining mechanisms underlying economic abuse of intimate partners. The then discusses different models for approaching intimate partner violence that and how those are more effective and equitable than criminalization.

Could it be that the adversarial criminal justice system is hindering efforts to combat domestic violence?

Could it be that the adversarial criminal justice system is hindering efforts to combat domestic violence?

In recent years, the desirability of locking up millions of Americans in prison has been seriously questioned both on the left and right. It would seem, however, that domestic violence is very different than the non-violent drug offenses highlighted by critics of mass incarceration. On the face it, shouldn't this be where police intervention and the criminal legal system are warranted? But, as Leigh Goodmark argues, it's a lot more complicated.

Thanks to the efforts of activists concerned that the problem of “battered women” was being ignored -- and treated as a private, family matter rather than a broader social problem -- since the 1980s interpersonal/domestic violence has been treated as a criminal act enforced by the institutions of American criminal justice. But too seldom have we asked if this approach has actually worked. In her powerful and provocative new book, Decriminalizing Domestic Violence: A Balanced Policy Approach to Intimate Partner Violence (University of California Press, 2018), Leigh Goodmark asks us to evaluate the effects of criminalizing domestic violence and to consider what might be gained by thinking about interpersonal violence as a problem of economics, public health, community, and human rights.
