Item Betrayed by the Blue: Intimate Partner Violence and Institutional Betrayal by the Criminal Legal System(Sociology Mind, 2023-10-07) Blewitt, Bailey; Hattery, Angela; Smith, EarlSurvivors of intimate partner violence engage in a multitude of help-seeking behaviors; most commonly they engage in the criminal legal system (CLS). Thus, when this institution betrays the trust of those dependent on them by being negligent or prosecutory, this is called institutional betrayal. We strive to elucidate and describe the types of institutional betrayal that victims/survivors of IPV experience when they report their abuse to the CLS. The analysis is based on in-depth interviews with 11 women impacted by intimate partner violence who sought help from the CLS. Four themes emerged: 1) indifference by criminal legal system actors; 2) being criminalized by criminal legal system actors; 3) The benefits of “insider status”; 4) Having to be “in the system” to use the system. It is crucial that we recognize the inconsistencies and mistreatment within our current criminal legal system in order to better protect and support victims and survivors of IPV equally and effectively.Item What Is a Girl Worth?: Gender-Based Violence and Accountability in SportsWorld(Sociology of Sport Journal, 2024-05-25) Kiss, Marissa; Foltz, Katelyn E.; Hattery, Angela; Mirance, Katie; Smith, EarlDespite having clear policies that address athlete misconduct, including gender-based violence, at the collegiate and professional levels, members of SportsWorld—athletes, coaches, and staff—are rarely, if ever, held accountable. And, even when they face a penalty, more than 80% are allowed to either remain on the team or transfer and continue playing. In this paper, we explore the impact of this lack of accountability, including the “positive” benefits to players that include the opportunity to play in national playoffs and secure lucrative contracts as well as the negative impacts on victims and communities, most disturbingly the impact of serial abusers like Larry Nassar whose unfettered access to athletes resulted in hundreds of victimized individuals.
