Beyond the Debt: Qualitative Insights into Legal Financial Burdens and the Ongoing Quest for Reform
Wed, Nov 12, 5:00 to 6:20pm, Scarlet Oak - Second FloorSession Submission Type: Complete Thematic Panel
Abstract/Description
This panel combines qualitative inquiries into the nuanced impacts of legal financial obligations (LFOs) for system-involved people, showcasing studies that bridge corrections, sentencing, and qualitative methods. Each presentation explores different aspects of LFOs, from the experiential perceptions of 'double punishment'—where individuals face multiple concurrent sanctions—to the effectiveness of legislative changes intended to alleviate LFO burdens for indigent individuals. Additionally, the panel examines abolitionist and transformative visions through the lenses of those directly affected by criminalization, proposing a broad range of reforms. Collectively, these studies underscore the value of qualitative research in uncovering the layered realities of system-involved people.
