Résumé
Research framework: Studying crime and the family involves considering issues at the individual, relational, community, and social structural levels. Objectives: This issue aims to bring together interdisciplinary perspectives to demonstrate how crime shapes family dynamics, with a particular focus on the intersectionality of social inequalities and forms of structural violence. Methodology: The contributions in this issue include qualitative and quantitative empirical analyses, as well as a social analysis of case law. Results: Problematic and criminalized behavior, and victimization, are linked to gender, social and economic exclusion, parenting practices, peer relationships, and intimate relationships. Crime also involves structural violence: systems, policies, and practices that shape family environments and dynamics. Interventions aimed at suppressing and punishing crime can thus represent a form of structural violence that reproduces the physical, psychological, social, and economic violence experienced within the family. Conclusion: Crime and violence, in all its forms, are subject to structural and social processes that cause these types of “social problems” to cluster together. The family, as a basic unit of the social system, can promote resilience or reproduce violence. Interventions that ignore families’ “thread of trauma” risk reproducing violence, thereby shaping family trajectories. Contribution: This issue demonstrates that crime is embedded in relational, social, and institutional dynamics. The application of an interdisciplinary and intersectional approach allows for the analysis of the complexity of family experiences of crime.
