  • Title: The Nature of Co-Occurring Exposure to Violence and of Court Responses to Girls in the Juvenile Justice System.
    Author: Morash M.
    Journal: Violence Against Women; 2016 Jul; 22(8):923-42. PubMed ID: 26597085.
    Abstract:
    This article examines the co-occurrence of different types of victimization and violence exposure, and the effects of court interventions for girls in juvenile court. A life history interview methodology was used to collect qualitative data from 27 girls who had penetrated deeply into a treatment-oriented county court system. The study revealed that early abuse and violence in the home made girls vulnerable to later intimate partner violence and sexual assault when they left to avoid continued victimization. Whereas some court interventions helped girls, others revictimized them. Implications for helpful court practices and future research are presented and discussed.
