PurposeThis article emphasizes the complexity of desistance processes by exploring how echoes of violent victimization from intimate partners work as a hindrance or barrier to desistance. Drawing on interviews with women who are striving to desist, this article seeks to elucidate how past experiences of excessive and recurring violent victimization affect the life course, with a focus on their restrictions on the women’s desistance processes.MethodsThis paper is built upon repeated qualitative interviews with ten women in the early stages of their desistance processes. They were all interviewed repeatedly on a 6-monthly basis for 2 years. Echoes of violent victimization as a hindrance to desistance emerged as a theme during the interviews and are explored further via a thematic analysis.ResultsEchoes of violent victimization from intimate partners restrict the women’s social lives, complicating an already fragile (re)connection to conventional society. Additionally, many of the women are restricted by post-traumatic stress disorders directly related to their violent victimization, which impedes their agency and limits their abilities to act towards desistance.ConclusionsRecurring violent victimization has severe implications for the women’s desistance processes. Both social and health-related consequences of this violence restrict the women’s ability to act towards desistance from crime and expose them to painful experiences of isolation, goal failure, and hopelessness. These conclusions are important contributions to the understanding of the complexity of desistance processes.

愿意但不行:亲密伴侣的暴力行为是妇女抵御犯罪的阻碍

目的本文通过探讨亲密伴侣遭受暴力侵害的回声如何作为阻碍的障碍或障碍,来强调停战过程的复杂性。本文旨在通过对努力戒除女性的访谈来阐明过去的过度和反复暴力受害经历如何影响生活过程,并着重于她们对女性戒除过程的限制。方法本文基于反复的定性访谈建立在戒断过程的早期有十名妇女。他们都接受了为期两年,每六个月一次的反复访谈。在访谈中,暴力侵害回声作为阻碍运动的障碍已成为主题,并通过专题分析进一步探讨。结果亲密伴侣的暴力受害回声限制了妇女的社会生活,使与本已脆弱的(重新)联系变得更加复杂。此外,许多妇女受到与暴力受害直接相关的创伤后应激障碍的困扰,这阻碍了她们的行动能力并限制了她们抗拒行为的能力。结论反复发生暴力受害行为对妇女的抗拒进程产生了严重影响。这种暴力行为所产生的与社会和健康相关的后果都限制了妇女为摆脱犯罪而采取行动的能力,并使她们遭受痛苦的孤立,目标失败和绝望的经历。这些结论对理解制止过程的复杂性具有重要意义。与本已脆弱的(重新)联系变得更加复杂。此外,许多妇女受到与暴力受害直接相关的创伤后应激障碍的困扰,这阻碍了她们的行动能力并限制了她们抗拒行为的能力。结论反复发生暴力受害行为对妇女的抗拒进程产生了严重影响。这种暴力行为所产生的与社会和健康相关的后果都限制了妇女为摆脱犯罪而采取行动的能力,并使她们遭受痛苦的孤立,目标失败和绝望的经历。这些结论对理解制止过程的复杂性具有重要意义。与本已脆弱的(重新)联系变得更加复杂。此外,许多妇女受到与暴力受害直接相关的创伤后应激障碍的困扰,这阻碍了她们的行动能力并限制了她们抗拒行为的能力。结论反复发生暴力受害行为对妇女的抗拒进程产生了严重影响。这种暴力行为所产生的与社会和健康相关的后果都限制了妇女为摆脱犯罪而采取行动的能力,并使她们遭受痛苦的孤立,目标失败和绝望的经历。这些结论对理解制止过程的复杂性具有重要意义。许多妇女受到与暴力受害直接相关的创伤后应激障碍的困扰,这阻碍了她们的行动,并限制了她们抗拒行动的能力。结论反复发生暴力受害对妇女的抗拒进程产生了严重影响。这种暴力行为所产生的与社会和健康相关的后果都限制了妇女为摆脱犯罪而采取行动的能力,并使她们遭受痛苦的孤立,目标失败和绝望的经历。这些结论对理解制止过程的复杂性具有重要意义。许多妇女受到与暴力受害直接相关的创伤后应激障碍的困扰,这阻碍了她们的行动,并限制了她们抗拒行动的能力。结论反复发生暴力受害对妇女的抗拒进程产生了严重影响。这种暴力行为所产生的与社会和健康相关的后果都限制了妇女为摆脱犯罪而采取行动的能力,并使她们遭受痛苦的孤立,目标失败和绝望的经历。这些结论对理解制止过程的复杂性具有重要意义。这种暴力行为所产生的与社会和健康相关的后果都限制了妇女为摆脱犯罪而采取行动的能力,并使她们遭受痛苦的孤立,目标失败和绝望的经历。这些结论对理解制止过程的复杂性具有重要意义。这种暴力行为所产生的与社会和健康相关的后果都限制了妇女为摆脱犯罪而采取行动的能力,并使她们遭受痛苦的孤立,目标失败和绝望的经历。这些结论对理解制止过程的复杂性具有重要意义。
