What About the Rapists?
What About the Rapists?: Anarchist Approaches to Crime and Justice (Dysophia, #5) | CrimethInc, Dysophia, (A)Legal, Chrysalis Collective
2 posts | 1 read | 2 to read
"None of us signed up for anarchy because we live participating in exhausting, interminable processes to address the stupid ways people hurt each other within our subcultural bubbles... When we spend so much time and energy trying to resolve internal conflicts... we risk cutting ourselves off from the pains that brought us together in the first place."
- CrimethInc
This zine looks at contemporary anarchist theory and practice on crime and justice, though it won't be using these terms. The first half will be a critical examination of Transformative Justice-based accountability processes, an approach with origins in US anarchist circles now taking seed in parts of Europe. The other half looks at
retributive approaches, such as survivor-led direct action against rapists.

I've read a couple of books and several articles about transformative justice (TJ), which focused on the wrongs of the current legal-carceral system, but didn't give a clear picture of what an alternative community-based justice system would actually look like This book does do that, using the anarchist groups from which it emerged as context and from which it draws examples.
It's honest about the difficulties in establishing community justice ⬇️

Bookwomble ... forums within an overarching oppressive system, and acknowledges the effort needed to establish an ongoing process of patriarchal deprogramming necessary to stop TJ replicating the errors of the current system. As a framework to be developed, it's fascinating, and generally (though not completely) meshes with my person-centred ethos. 4.5⭐ 2d

Bookwomble @Suet624 @RaeLovesToRead @Leftcoastzen @AmyG @lil1inblue I should have explicitly acknowledged my animal accomplice: Skye is a reluctant model, and that look look was definitely a warning about me encroaching on her territory! On the other hand, prior to this she was curled up on my lap allowing a rationed amount of head strokes! 😸 #CatsOfLitsy 3d
