Abstract Desistance from criminal careers among guerrilla women in Colombia is a little-studied reality to date. The present study was undertaken to address this gap in the research, particularly in light of the high rates of post-disarmament recidivism. Specifically, a qualitative model was developed to identify desistance in a group of women linked to the guerrillas and currently in prison, close to having served out their alternative post-disarmament sentences under Law 975/2005. The model analyzed psychological and subjective factors in these women indicative of desistance, such as: the initiation of new projects, social ties, and feelings of remorse, self-efficacy, and self-control. These factors theoretically explain the women’s interest in staying away from criminal careers, as well as the risk of reoffending. The model was tested by conducting in-depth interviews with 20 women. As a general result, factors conducive to desistance from criminal careers were found to exist for 60% of the interviewed women, while 40% of the cases were at risk of recidivism.

Abstract In this research, as a comparative study, we dealt with the excuse of provocation related to the issue of femicide against the background of so-called honor crimes, and the extent to which the perpetrator benefited from the valid or mitigating excuse. After identifying the meaning of “honor crimes,” we monitored the conditions for applying this excuse, the scope of its personal and objective application, and the punishment in Arab positive laws. We have also treated the recent legislative trends represented in the abolition of this excuse in some Arab laws and stated that it is an important step toward fairness for women, but it is not sufficient and requires other steps, so there is no limit to the adoption of a clear legislative plan with goals aimed at reaching radical remedies and decisive solutions that do not accept cutting or acting with ill-considered reactions, and in line with the provisions of Islamic law and relevant international agreements.

Abstract Research in juvenile and criminal justice concerning how to assess and target interventions to LGBTQ+ youth and young adults is insufficient. With the proliferation of the Risk-Need-Responsivity Model (RNR), risk/need assessment tools have become evidence-based practice providing guidance to determining risk, identifying need, and the importance of targeting interventions to advance prosocial behavior. Critics have noted that during implementation of the RNR Model, the focus is too often on the risk principle at the expense of the need and responsivity principles. This study provides evidence from an intensive case study, and process evaluation of the Lambert House: LGBTQ+ Youth Community Center, that responsivity needs to be prominent when serving LGBTQ+ youth and young adults. Based on an analysis of 60 semi-structured interviews with program participants, staff, and community advocates, we argue that risk/need assessment tools driven by the RNR model be inclusive and responsive to LGBTQ+ youth and young adults.

Abstract In this study coping with imprisonment among female inmates, and how it relates to experiencing separation from family and friends, is being explored. Data was collected via a survey of 194 female inmates in a Northeastern state correctional facility for women. The self-reported data included the Brief COPE assessment, as well as demographic and “contact” variables: visits, phone calls, and letter writing. The findings indicate that female prisoners tend to utilize adaptive coping methods to deal with their imprisonment. Specifically, letter writing was found to be positively associated with adaptive coping. However, visits from family members and from children were correlated with maladaptive coping and contributed to explaining the Negative Coping Index. Based on the results of descriptive and multivariate analyses, the correctional policies are suggested to better assist female prisoners’ cope with their imprisonment.

Abstract This paper argues that gay dating platform-facilitated crimes and abuses in India are produced and perpetuated by structural queerphobia and sex-negativity in Indian society. We illustrate how sex-negativity and queerphobia are embedded in Indian families, neighborhoods, criminal law, and the criminal justice system, which help produce/exacerbate these crimes. We offer some recommendations as to how these can be changed and posit that future empirical studies should focus on reforming societal structures producing/exacerbating these crimes. We also suggest that framing safe dating advice in a more sex-positive light will reduce self-blame and better address these issues. Overall, we contend that a sex-positive queer-criminological theoretical lens will offer more effective approaches on which to base preventative measures and assist in supporting those experiencing such crimes.

Abstract During the past fifty years, scholars have identified the following four ways that criminal defendants in the United States have used gay and trans panic defenses in murder cases involving victims who were gay men and transgender women: (1) insanity, (2) diminished capacity, (3) provocation, and (4) self-defense. While scholars have studied the first three defenses for gay men, little scholarship exists about the gay panic cases involving claims of self-defense. Additionally, there is a paucity of research regarding the trans panic defense. To address these empirical gaps, this research note uses open-source methods to study similarities between 99 homicide cases that occurred in the United States where criminal defendants made a gay or trans panic argument.

Abstract In spite of a democratic governance model, due to cis-heteronormativity, the rights of incarcerated transgender women in Costa Rica are routinely undermined by pervasive direct, social and structural violence. In effect, their incarceration is often preceded by victimization in the public and private spheres. This paper will use in-depth interviews carried out with incarcerated transgender women to examine the social factors contributing to their vulnerability and the State’s responsiveness to their needs. This will be complemented by a socio-legal analysis of the current criminal justice framework. Finally, will examine if there is compliance with international human rights conventions
