TY - JOUR PY - 2022// TI - "They aim for me" versus "under the radar:" understanding women's experiences in the Oregon criminal legal system through an intersectional lens JO - Victims and offenders A1 - Boppre, Breanna A1 - Boyer, Cassandra SP - 1029 EP - 1054 VL - 17 IS - 7 N2 - This article draws on intersectional criminology to explore how privilege and marginalization shape women's experiences in the criminal legal system. Utilizing a phenomenological feminist approach, the findings from this study were derived from semi-structured interviews and focus groups with 19 women under community supervision in Oregon. Using thematic analysis, we developed three themes: experienced racism and privilege, police profiling, and differential sentencing outcomes. The findings highlight gendered racism experienced by BIWOC and gendered racial privilege experienced by White women. Theoretical and policy implications are discussed.
