520 _aHistorically, states have failed to seriously confront violence against women. Countries’ women’s rights movements have called on states to prioritize state intervention in cases involving violence between intimate partners, sexual harassment, rape, and sexual assault by both strangers and intimate partners. Those interventions have taken various forms, including passage of substantive civil and criminal laws governing intimate partner violence, rape and sexual assault, and sexual harassment; development of civil orders of protection; and introduction of criminal legal system procedures to ensure effective intervention of police and prosecutors. Many countries have relied on the criminal legal system intervention to meet their requirements under international human rights standards. Although states have taken divergent approaches to passage and implementation of criminal laws and procedures to address violence against women, two things are clear: Criminalization is a primary strategy relied on by most nations, and yet criminalization is not having the desired impact. This book explores the extent nations have adopted criminal legal reforms to address violence against women, the consequences of implementation of those laws and policies, and who bears those consequences most heavily. The book examines—the need for both more and less criminalization, whether we should think differently about criminalization, and explores the tensions that emerge when criminal law, civil law, and social policy speak or fail to speak to each other. Drawing on criminalization approaches from across the globe, a comparative approach to assess the scope, impact of, and alternatives to criminalization in the response to violence against women is provided.
