This article is a response to Barr and Christian’s article ‘A qualitative investigation into the impact of domestic abuse on women’s desistance’. Based on the findings of two separate but interlinked projects considering women’s qualitative desistance experiences in the community, Barr and Christian argue for a reframing of desistance from crime as desistance from harm when working with women in the criminal justice system. This article seeks to consider this reframing in terms of probation practice and contemplates some of the structural and cultural barriers which may currently stand in the way.

“关于家庭虐待对妇女抵抗的影响的定性调查”：从业者的回应

本文是对 Barr 和 Christian 的文章“家庭虐待对女性抵抗力影响的定性调查”的回应。根据两个独立但相互关联的项目的调查结果，该项目考虑了女性在社区中的定性停止体验，巴尔和克里斯蒂安主张在刑事司法系统中与女性合作时，将停止犯罪重新定义为停止伤害。本文试图从缓刑实践的角度考虑这种重构，并考虑目前可能存在的一些结构和文化障碍。
