- Title
Unsettling Innocence: Rewriting The Law's Invention of Immigrant Woman as Cooperator and Criminal Enforcer.
- Authors
Wang, Lee Ann S.
- Abstract
In this article the author reflects on laws that promise to protect immigrant women only when they and their legal advocates participate with institutions of criminalization. Topics include immigration visas promoted to be a form of protection for immigrant women from violence only if they agree to assist law enforcement with criminal prosecutions and U Visa immigration law designed to protect undocumented immigrant women from violence by enlisting them as cooperators in service of police.
