This conferencing model, called family group decision making, was applied by three diverse Canadian communities—Inuit, rural, and urban—to the benefit of child and adult family members. Narrative inquiry identifies how engaging the family and relatives resets the narrative from misrecognition to recognition of their competence and caring. Family violence poses some of the most long-term and controversial questions in restorative justice. Should we use a restorative approach to stop gendered and intergenerational harm? Or will bringing together those who have been harmed, those causing harm, and their supporters only incite more violence? Underlying these questions is a profound distrust of families and their cultural networks. This distrust has stalled turning away from carceral interventions that particularly harm minoritized communities. Moving forward in time, the volume identifies blocks to trusting families and their cultural networks and means of circumventing these blocks. The book offers a theory of feminist kin-making to comprehend the restorative process and gives practical guidance to restorative participants, practitioners, policy makers, and researchers.}, publisher={Routledge}, author={Pennell, Joan}, year={2022}, month={May} }
 @article{pennel_2021, title={After the rise and stall of American feminism: Taking back a revolution}, volume={36}, ISSN={["1552-3020"]}, DOI={10.1177/0886109920906781}, abstractNote={The evocative title of this latest volume by sociologist Lynn Chancer pushes us to scrutinize closely the development of American feminism: What gave rise to our movement(s)? Where have we made substantial progress? and Why do our gains plateau, leaving us stalled. Nevertheless, this deftly crafted title urges “taking back the revolution,” the reverse of defeatism. This optimism pervades the spirit of both American feminism and the profession of social work; otherwise, why would we be so persistent in our efforts to effect change? Social workers will appreciate Chancer’s intersectional lens that integrates gender, race, class, and sexuality analyses to identify the reasons for the uneven trajectories of four major areas where the United States has made substantial progress. First, the lack of universal, quality day care, particularly for poor women and women of color, stymies the realization of full political, economic, and educational equality (pp. 49–50). Second, rural/urban and wealth divides that limit reproductive choice undermine achieving sexual freedom (p. 77). Third, heterosexist norms pressuring men to sexualize and coerce women sustain gender violence (p. 118). Fourth, white men’s continued ownership and control of the media impede the transformation of gender representations (p. 138). Throughout this well documented and cogent book, Chancer puts her finger squarely on the inextricable links between the political and personal in tackling these major issues of American feminism. As a feminist social worker, I have experienced the impact of this progress and its stalling in the lives of people with whom I have worked. The area which I have had the longest term involvement is in working to end gender violence and will assess Chancer’s line of argument here. She quite rightly highlights the benefits of popular opinion shifting from viewing intimate partner violence (IPV) as a private trouble endured in silence to a public issue acted upon collectively (p. 105). She points to sharp declines in sexual violence over the latter part of the twentieth century but also to the stabilization in rates during the twenty-first century. In analyzing these trends, Chancer identifies two patterns: tenacious gender imbalances of men far outnumbering women in committing IPV (p. 113) and cultural expectations pressuring men to “perform masculinity,” through sexism and heterosexism (p. 121). In response, Chancer advocates that feminists’ center on transforming everyday masculinist norms, which might, in turn, eradicate extremes of male domination and sexual violence at the margins (p. 131). Reflecting debates within American feminism, Chancer appears ambivalent toward punishing those perpetrating the violence. On the one hand, she supports criminal legal measures that “punish” those responsible for the violence (p. 131). On the other hand, she recognizes that the increased reliance on the criminal legal system skews outcomes toward punishing and incarcerating Book Reviews}, number={4}, journal={AFFILIA-JOURNAL OF WOMEN AND SOCIAL WORK}, author={Pennel, Joan}, year={2021}, month={Nov}, pages={684–685} }

In order to answer these questions, they draw upon the words of the men as they reflected on the program and its impact. Their responses are viewed within the context of the men's overall satisfaction with the group and the group facilitators' notes describing men's responses to the curriculum. Men who abuse are not a homogenous population. Some men at least initially are not motivated by their children to change how they relate to intimate partners. A content analysis was first used to code the qualitative responses of the participant feedback forms into broad categories on the men's motivations, outcomes, and programmatic recommendations. Nevertheless, the men's affirmations point to potential of the fathering program to change the lives of men and their families for the better.}, booktitle={Innovations interventions to address intimate partner violence: Research and practice}, publisher={New York, NY: Routledge}, author={Pennell, Joan and Brandt, Erika}, year={2017} }

A potential solution is engaging men who abuse in assessing and managing their own risk to family members. This was the aim of a psycho-educational fathering program developed and tested in the southeastern United States. Over the course of the group, the men set goals on how to relate to their children and to their current or former partners, and they reflected on their achievement of these goals. The men's self-appraisals were supported by their caseworkers' assessments. A comparison of child protection data before and after entry in the group showed an extensive decrease in the families assessed with child protection findings and with household domestic violence. The evaluation used a qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) that identified configurations of conditions overlapping with child protection outcomes. Some of the men's characteristics included in these configurations ran counter to predictors usually associated with child maltreatment and domestic violence.

Applying restorative practices in situations of family violence, however, may endanger the participants unless they are prepared for the deliberations and sufficient safeguards are in place. A starting place for engaging some men who abuse in restorative processes is through their role as fathers. ‘Strong Fathers’ was a group programme for men who had committed domestic violence and were referred by child welfare. The men who persevered with the programme were pulled by their desire to be close to their children and pushed by their sense of what it means to be a man and a father.

Such engagement can enlarge supports to help children stay with their parents or as needed, identify relative caregivers. It, however, would appear especially challenging when children are removed on an emergency basis, without their parents' consent, and from African American neighborhoods with longstanding tensions with public child welfare. The challenges are all the greater when the meetings must be rapidly convened so as not to undermine parents' right to due process. This study in Washington (District of Columbia) examines the impact of family team meetings convened within a 72-hour period in advance of the hearing on where children were to live. Using AFCARS data, the study compared the permanency outcomes for children who had a FTM with those who did not. The meetings significantly increased the likelihood that children would be placed in kin foster homes, have family-group-type permanency goals, exit care faster, and be discharged to family or relatives. Family team meetings assist in re-conceptualizing client engagement from a worker–parent relationship to a partnership of family, community, and public agencies.}, number={7}, journal={CHILDREN AND YOUTH SERVICES REVIEW}, author={Pennell, Joan and Edwards, Myles and Burford, Gale}, year={2010}, month={Jul}, pages={1012–1019} }

A sample of 27 conferences showed that the 221 family group members outnumbered the 115 service providers at the meetings. Family group members were usually satisfied with the conference process and decision and saw the plans as primarily reached through consensus, following a trusted leader, and bargaining.

The core of the convening stage is when families are left alone, equipped with resources at their disposal, to determine a plan for change.

It proposes a partnership approach for respecting the integrity of FGC philosophy and practice and focuses on how the concept of concern can offer a simplifying starting point for alternative approaches to child welfare reform. The family-centered, partnership-building framework of FGC offers one means of making the service system more responsive to family and community concerns. Community development has historically emphasized the participation of citizens in identifying issues and their engagement in mutual processes of community problem solving. These basic community practice tenets build on a shared vision and commitment to action. With the plan in place, the family group and involved community organizations work with the authorities to protect and assist family members. If the plan becomes unfeasible or unhelpful or the family's situation changes dramatically, an FGC can be reconvened.}, booktitle={Family group conferences: New directions in community-centered child and family practice}, publisher={Hawthorne, NY: Aldine de Gruyter}, author={Pennell, J. and Weil, M.}, editor={G.

It begins with a brief review of the conceptual foundations that underlie participatory research perspectives, highlighting common characteristics of these approaches.

They require stratagems, preferably backed by the law, to counter these pressures. A study of labor unionized shelters in Canada and the United States found that one possibility is collective bargaining. These women's programs and their unions demonstrated that they can effectively transform state regulation at two levels. First, collective bargaining which is governed by labor law can be reshaped to advance the valuation and support of caregiving and workers' say over its delivery. Second, collective bargaining is a way of strengthening women's programs in their negotiations with public as well as private funding bodies. Their initiatives can guide radical social workers' efforts to maintain both their ideals and professional role.}, number={1}, journal={Journal of Progressive Human Services}, author={Pennell, J.}, year={1995}, pages={45–72} }

In all the classes, the students' feminist identification increased, practice approaches changed, and self-esteem was enhanced.

Nuances in views among the three panelists are influenced by their backgrounds in the domestic violence field, legal system, and child protection work. The panel discussion also focused on the need not only for men to take responsibility for ensuring safety and respect and restoration but also investigating how the community can be helpful toward this end. A restorative process can create accountability through him creating a contract with those people he cares about. While the man may not care about disappointing strangers, such as a judge or probation officer, he might care about disappointing his mother or his in-laws.
