Gender Violence and the Criminalized Survivor

This 3-credit class will partner with Stanford Law's Criminal Justice Center on a national research project about survivors of gender-based violence who killed an abusive partner. It covers the doctrinal concepts related to GBV generally, including civil and criminal remedies, GBV and children, economic issues, and civil rights issues. Students will gather data, conduct interviews, and make recommendations for policy and legislative changes related to survivor representation, conditions of incarceration, and needs upon re-entry.
