N2  - Although African American women are at disproportionate risk for domestic violence, review of the literature suggests that traditional law enforcement, criminal justice, and advocacy efforts may be ineffective with this population due to (a) Black female victims’ experiences of systemic racism and oppression, which prevents disclosure of abuse and access to resources, and (b) utilization of culture-blind approaches in the development and administration of interventions. In an attempt to increase cultural sensitivity in addressing violence against Black women and to increase the effectiveness of current interventions, we examine the use of restorative justice approaches that both incorporate and go beyond criminal justice interventions by including the needs and concerns of Black female victims, offenders, and the larger community to eliminate violence.
