520 |a Over the last two decades in Canada, police intervention inwoman abuse cases has become one of the primary responsesto this form of violence against women. As a review of the literature reveals, however, very few studies have soughtto examine women's perceptions of the ``policing solution''to woman, and only a handful have explored the views ofimmigrant women. This is an unfortunate hiatus as studiesindicate that criminal justice intervention in woman abusecases can often bring in tow a multitude of harms to womenwho are socially and economically marginalized. As a steptowards addressing this hiatus, this article reports on theperceptions held by forty-eight immigrant women about the``policing solution'' to woman. The data were generated fromfocus group interviews that occurred in New Brunswick in thespring of 1997. Many of the women indicated that they held anumber of fears about police intervention in woman abusecases and they identified a myriad of forms of harm thatcould and often does occur pursuant to police involvementin such situations given immigrant women's socio-economicvulnerability. The concerns and feelings that the womenexpressed about police intervention mirror, at some level,many of the emotional responses and dynamics that arise forwomen when they experience woman abuse.
