Community Justice Primers, No. 3
Why Doesn't She Leave
a primer on intimate partner violence, the carceral state, and what actually makes a home safe
Violence between partners, past the two reflexes the culture hands out: call the police, or ask why she stays. It leans on Leigh Goodmark's Decriminalizing Domestic Violence and Imperfect Victims, and ends with a safety plan that doesn't go through the police.
Content note. About violence between partners and how police, courts and communities respond.
