The Imperfect Victim: How Economic Justice Intersects with Victimization and Risk Factors
2025-12-02 10:00 - 11:30
Training Synopsis:
For the last forty years, criminalization has been the primary response to violence against women in the United States. One serious consequence of the turn to the criminal legal system has been the increasing criminalization of victims of violence. Victims of violence are regularly arrested, prosecuted, convicted, and punished for crimes related to their own victimization. This happens, in part, because the criminal legal system only protects “perfect” victims, who have traditionally been portrayed as meek, passive, and more often women. But most victims of violence are “imperfect” victims in some way—they fail to conform to these victimization stereotypes. The “perfect victim” myth is deeply intertwined with systems of economic inequality: survivors who lack stable housing, reproductive autonomy, living wages, or healthcare access are more likely to be viewed as “imperfect” and thus undeserving of protection. Meanwhile, the criminalization of survival strategies—from sex work to substance use—further marginalizes those whose economic circumstances push them outside the narrow bounds of “respectability.” And in a criminal legal system that only recognizes one victim and one offender, once a victim of violence is labelled an offender or worse, a criminal defendant, their victimization is no longer legible to the system. This training will introduce the idea of imperfect victims, trace how (beginning in childhood) imperfect victims become trapped in the criminal legal system, and suggest policy interventions to prevent the revictimization of imperfect victims.
