这篇文章挑战了当代对美国黑人州的理解，面对黑人妇女中极高的凶杀受害率的现实，并考虑了平等和对黑人州的理解的影响。我们认为，如果不考虑黑人妇女所面临的异常高的暴力发生率，就不能充分理解美国的国家和美国的刑事秩序。没有将刑事司法置于种族和性别主体形成的更大背景下的刑事司法概念，将刑事“司法”描绘成一个几乎完全由成年男性组成的竞技场。这掩盖了国家形式如何不仅助长刑事司法实践，而且助长暴力风险的现实。黑人女性独特地处于暴力风险的交叉点，也面临着遭受奴隶制附带损害的风险。如果不重视直接受到收容状态和人际间暴力影响的连通性和关怀问题，我们就无法完全理解“收容”或“国家”的概念。
This article challenges contemporary understandings of the US carceral state by confronting the realities of exceptionally high rates of homicide victimization among Black women and considering the implications for equality and understandings of the carceral state. We propose that neither the US state nor the US penal order can be fully understood without taking account of the exceptionally high rates of violence to which Black women are exposed. Conceptions of the carceral state that do not situate criminal justice within the larger context of raced and gendered subject formation depict criminal “justice” as an arena composed almost entirely of adult males. This obscures the realities of how state form contributes not only to criminal justice practices but also to risk of violence. Black women are uniquely situated at the intersection of risk of violence, and risk of experiencing the collateral damage of the carceral state. Without significant attention to issues of connectivity and care, which are directly affected by the carceral state and by inter-personal violence, we cannot fully understand the concepts of “carceral” or “state”.
