520 Analysis of criminal cases reveals that women suspected of
killing their newborn children are some of the most
vulnerable in our society and that infanticide is not just
a historical issue but one that has modern implications.
While women are less likely to commit violent crime,
maternal infant homicide is an enduring form of offending
that needs to be understood in a wider social context. In
Criminal Justice Responses to Maternal Filicide, Milne
provides a comprehensive analysis of conviction outcomes
through court transcripts of 15 criminal cases in England
and Wales during 2010 to 2019. Drawing on feminist
theories of responsibilisation and 'gendered harm', she
critically reflects on the gendered nature of criminal
justice's responses to suspected infanticide. This
contemporary study makes a novel contribution to the
fields of law, criminology and gender studies, arguing
that through its inability to recognise the vulnerable
position of accused women, and respond accordingly, the
application of law reflects wider social judgments of
pregnant women and mothers who challenge or fail to fulfil
ideals of motherhood.
