This chapter examines the explanatory power of intersectionality and Potter’s (2006) Black Feminist Criminology (BFC) as critical frameworks for understanding intimate partner violence (IPV), family violence, and state-sanctioned family violence (SSFV) against racially and ethnically marginalized women, particularly Black women. Rooted in the foundational work of Kimberlé Crenshaw and Patricia Hill Collins, BFC centers the lived experiences of multiply marginalized women and exposes how intersecting systems of oppression, white supremacy, heteropatriarchy, capitalism, and state violence shape patterns of abuse, victimization, and criminalization. This chapter explores the theoretical origins of BFC, its application to domestic violence and systemic violence through child welfare and mass incarceration policies, and its utility as a liberatory praxis. Finally, it argues for the transformative potential of BFC-informed research and policy interventions to dismantle structural barriers and promote justice for marginalized families and communities.
