Resilience of Women Under the Criminal Justice System
Cuvinte cheie:
rezilienţă, femei, sistem de justiţie penală.Rezumat
În ultimii 25 de ani, numărul femeilor din sistemul de justiţie penală a crescut foarte mult; majoritatea dintre acestea au fost incluse în „războiul împotriva drogurilor” şi au fost supuse unor politici cu pedepse punitive tot mai frecvente pentru infractorii non-violenţi. În acest articol, autorii discută despre rezilienţa definită din perspectiva factorilor de protecţie pentru femeile din sistemul de justiţie penală (de exemplu, caracteristicile de personalitate, caracteristicile biologice, factorii sociali şi culturali şi caracteristicile comunităţii). Deasemenea, rezilienţa poate fi definită ca un proces de adaptare (de exemplu, auto-dezvoltare, aprecieri cognitive pozitive, stiluri de coping şi spiritualitate), autorii realizând inclusiv o perspectivă iterativă asupra rezilienţei ca o cascadă a proceselor de protecţie şi ca rezultate pozitive (de exemplu, lipsa simptomelor) ca urmare a expunerii la evenimente adverse, în cazul nostru, femeile şi fetele din sistemul de justiţie penală. Multe dintre aceste femei se luptă cu abuzul de substanţe, boli mintale şi istoric de abuz fizic şi sexual. Dintre acestea, un număr mic primeşte serviciile de care au nevoie. Efectele asupra acestor femei, fete şi familiile lor sunt devastatoare. Bazându-se pe fiecare dintre aceste definiţii cadru, autorii iau în considerare aspecte generale referitoare la conceptul de rezilienţă.Referințe
