Drawing on four years of participatory research in a Baltimore emergency room, Sameena Mulla reveals the realities of sexual assault response in the forensic age. Taking an approach developed at the intersection of medical and legal anthropology, she analyzes the ways in which nurses work to collect and preserve evidence while addressing the needs of sexual assault victims as patients. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMulla argues that blending the work of care and forensic investigation into a single intervention shapes how victims of violence understand their own suffering, recovery, and access to justice--in short, what it means to be a \"victim\". As nurses race the clock to preserve biological evidence, institutional practices, technologies, and even state requirements for documentation undermine the way in which they are able to offer psychological and physical care. Yet most of the evidence they collect never reaches the courtroom and does little to increase the number of guilty verdicts. Mulla illustrates the violence of care with painstaking detail, illuminating why victims continue to experience what many call \"secondary rape\" during forensic intervention, even as forensic nursing is increasingly professionalized. Revictimization can occur even at the hands of conscientious nurses, simply because they are governed by institutional requirements that shape their practices. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Violence of Care\u003c\/i\u003e challenges the uncritical adoption of forensic practice in sexual assault intervention and post-rape care, showing how forensic intervention profoundly impacts the experiences of violence, justice, healing and recovery for victims of rape and sexual assault.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore she joined the Department of Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies at Emory University in 2021, \u003cb\u003eSameena Mulla \u003c\/b\u003ewas Associate Professor of Anthropology in the Department of Social and Cultural Sciences at Marquette University.
