Abstract:
In recent years there is growing recognition of the significant contribution that collaboration between practitioners and researchers provides for empirical studies. Such collaboration is beneficial in numerous ways, including designing studies that provide findings that are more relevant for those in the field and providing researchers with improved ways to design, implement, and interpret their work. The Collaboration Workshop focuses on the best methods to conduct collaborative research (from both researchers’ and practitioners’ perspectives), the benefits of collaborative research, potential barriers and pitfalls, and how to overcome them. In the 2006 Workshop, the discussion will focus on "Collaborative Learning and Shared Skills." Academic researchers have much to learn from practitioners, particularly about protecting confidentiality and safety in research.
Dedication: This workshop is dedicated to the memory of Linda Saltzman, one of the founding members of the Collaboration Working Group.

Chair: Jeanne Flavin (Fordham University)

Abstract:
This panel considers how crime and criminal justice shape (and in some cases regulate) women’s reproduction. Papers raise questions such as: What is the relationship between criminal justice and reproductive justice? To what extent is women’s victimization used to justify the increased surveillance of mothers? What is the relationship between girls’ sexual trauma, their behavior, and their criminalization? What are the processes that lead women and girls to become “imprisoned mothers”? And finally, how can we resist the criminalization of young, poor, and minority women who seek to terminate a pregnancy, or to conceive, bear, and raise children?
