Academics and battered women's advocates have long complained about the state's apathy toward intimate-partner violence. However, recent research exposes tensions between the goal of holding batterers and intimate-partner murderers accountable for their crimes and a critique of overzealous state intervention in intimate relationships. This panel addresses concerns about the deleterious effects of aggressive policing and prosecution, including the denial of survivor agency and the punitive impact on minority and immigrant communities. It contrasts such critiques with papers by scholars who call for more effective prosecution and reform of substantive criminal law. Finally, the panel will include a historical perspective on how state responses to intimate-partner violence have changed over time.
