Beyond the Carceral System

Featuring Professor Leigh Goodmark, Professor Charisa Smith, and Dr. Jamila Stockman

Introductory Remarks by Professor Jane Stoever

 

How can gender-based violence remedies advance beyond the carceral system? Global movements against racism, calls to defund the police and reimagine public safety, and the collective focus on community aid during COVID-19 present opportunities to create and expand alternatives to carceral responses to gender-based violence. Experts in public health, juvenile justice, restorative justice, and economic justice present their visions during this session.
