Today, Hunter starts on part one of a three-part series on criminalized survivors of domestic violence. Kicking off this miniseries is Professor Leigh Goodmark. A former Public Defender herself, Leigh brings multiple decades of experience working with and writing about criminalized domestic violence survivors. On today’s episode, Hunter and Leigh primarily discuss her journey to abolition, decriminalization, and the stories/data that made her conclude that the carceral system is not the appropriate response for domestic violence.     Guests: Leigh Goodmark, Professor of Law and Director of Gender Prison and Trauma Clinic, University of Maryland School of Law.     Resources: Get a Copy of Imperfect Victims https://www.ucpress.edu/book/9780520391123/imperfect-victims Get a Copy of Decriminalizing domestic Violence https://www.ucpress.edu/book/9780520295575/decriminalizing-domestic-violence Contact Leigh https://www.law.umaryland.edu/faculty--research/directory/profile/index.php?id=982 Compelled to Crime https://www.amazon.com/Compelled-Crime-Gender-Entrapment-Battered/dp/0415911451     Contact Hunter Parnell:                                 Publicdefenseless@gmail.com  Instagram @PublicDefenselessPodcast Twitter                                                                 @PDefenselessPod www.publicdefenseless.com  Subscribe to the Patron www.patreon.com/PublicDefenselessPodcast  Donate on PayPal https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=5KW7WMJWEXTAJ Donate on Stripe https://donate.stripe.com/7sI01tb2v3dwaM8cMN
