| Notes: | Examines the tensions between state accountability, perpetrator responsibility and victims' autonomy which arise due to mandated victim participation in domestic violence prosecutions in the US. The current debate surrounding no-drop policies and mandated participation, theoretical dilemmas posed by the public/private, particular/general and agency/victim dichotomies and accepting the costs of mandated participation as part of an overall systematic response to violence are discussed. Includes suggestions to prosecutors for increasing the power and autonomy of mandated victims. |
