| dc.description.notes | Recounts the story of Jenny, an eighteen year old victim of dating violence and eventually, intimate homicide. The story is told from the perspective of her mother who, after Jenny’s death, began educating herself on the dynamics of abusive relationships. It begins when Jenny began dating Mike and traces the deterioration of their relationship into a cycle of violence and control. The author’s perception of the US criminal justice system and her views of mandatory prosecution, based on her daughter’s experience, are then expressed. Although largely a self-reflective narrative, there is frequent use of the feminist literature and recent research studies, providing an academic interpretation of the personal experiences cited. The conclusion advocates for various changes to the prosecution process including increased victim safety measures and consideration of the victim’s psychological health. | en |
