Upon first glance, the answer appears to be simple: the term designates those varieties of feminist theory and praxis that seek to address women’s issues through juridical means and (the threat of) incarceration. For Bernstein (2007), carceral feminism describes “the commitment of abolitionist feminist activists to a law and order agenda and…adrift from the welfare state to the carceral state as the enforcement apparatus for feminist goals”(143). Thus, within the context of recent anti-trafficking campaigns in the United States, which have seen a convergence in the ideological compasses of certain Christian evangelical groups and liberal feminists, the term is meant to mark a shift in strategy towards using the threat of incarceration as a tool for achieving justice and for liberating victims of human trafficking from their perceived ‘slavery’; hence the ‘new’ abolitionism within which carceral feminism isasserted to play a key role. | year=2012}}</ref> |
