Confronting intergenerational harm: Care experience, motherhood and criminal justice involvement

Claire Fitzpatrick et al

2023

The British Journal of Criminology, Volume 64, Issue 2, March 2024, Pages 257–274. Care-experienced mums with criminal justice system contact may face cumulative stigma across the life course. Time to confront the intergenerational harm that care and justice system contact can create.

Starting with challenging the stigma linked to care-experienced mothers in conflict with the law. And recognising structures of power they must navigate.

Trauma warning: This archive contains material relating to care experience including references to abuse, neglect, sexual violence, and institutional harm.

 

Children and young people in social care, and those who have left, are often subject to stigmatisation and discrimination. Being stigmatised and discriminated against can impact negatively on mental health and wellbeing not only during the care experience but often for many years after too. The project aims to contribute towards changing community attitudes towards care experienced people as a group. See glossary HERE
