Debunking Misconceptions About Working with Criminalized Survivors

FACT SHEET Debunking Misconceptions About Working with Criminalized Survivors:

This memo is not intended to be inclusive of all the issues that may arise when a domestic violence program is assessing whether they can provide services to a survivor of intimate partner violence (IPV) or other form of GBV. Instead, it will highlight some of the more common misconceptions that programs have about working with criminalized survivors and how those misunderstandings prevent programs from working with those survivors.

Understanding some of these misconceptions will lead to better-informed responses when interacting with survivors of GBV who are formerly or currently involved in the CLS as defendants.
