Résumé

Au cours des 25 dernières années, le nombre de femmes dans le système de justice pénale a considérablement augmenté; la plupart d'entre eux ont été inclus dans la «guerre contre la drogue» et ont fait l'objet de politiques de punition de plus en plus punitives à l'encontre des délinquants non violents. Dans cet article, les auteurs traitent de la résilience du point de vue des facteurs de protection des femmes dans le système de justice pénale (par exemple, caractéristiques de la personnalité, caractéristiques biologiques, facteurs sociaux et culturels et caractéristiques de la communauté). La résilience peut également être définie comme un processus d'adaptation (développement personnel, appréciation cognitive positive, styles d'adaptation et spiritualité), les auteurs incluant également une perspective itérative sur la résilience en tant que cascade de processus de protection et de résultats positifs. par exemple, absence de symptômes) à la suite d'une exposition à des événements indésirables, dans notre cas, les femmes et les filles dans le système de justice pénale. Beaucoup de ces femmes sont aux prises avec des problèmes de toxicomanie, de maladie mentale et d’abus physique et sexuel. Parmi eux, un petit nombre reçoit les services dont ils ont besoin. Les effets sur ces femmes, filles et leurs familles sont dévastateurs. Sur la base de chacune de ces définitions-cadres, les auteurs prennent en compte les aspects généraux du concept de résilience.
