==== Multiple Jeopardy: Beyond Double Jeopardy ==== According to Deborah K. King, racism, sexism, and classism are widely accepted as the major facets of the status of black women. King believes that double jeopardy and triple jeopardy do not fully explain the relationship between the different oppressions faced by black women.<ref name=":2">{{Cite journal |last=King |first=Deborah K. |year=1988 |title=Multiple Jeopardy, Multiple Consciousness: The Context of a Black Feminist Ideology |journal=Signs |volume=14 |issue=1 |pages=42β47 |doi=10.1086/494491 |jstor=3174661 |s2cid=143446946}}</ref> Thus, King coined the term "multiple jeopardy" in "Multiple Jeopardy, Multiple Consciousness: The Context of a Black Feminist Ideology." This concept addresses the limitations of double or triple jeopardy models, which view different forms of prejudice as additive. Instead, multiple jeopardy suggests that these prejudices are interdependent and have a multiplicative effect. As such, King believes that different oppressions interact with each other rather than acting independently.<ref name=":2" /> King's theory of multiple jeopardy further expands this discussion by highlighting the interconnectedness of various forms of oppression, emphasizing the [[matrix of domination]]. By acknowledging the multiple consequences of homophobia and heterosexism for LGBTQ+ individuals, King's framework provides a deeper understanding of how these overlapping oppressions shape the experiences of marginalized groups.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Ward |first=Jane |date=2004 |title="Not all Differences are Created Equal": Multiple Jeopardy in a Gendered Organization |url=https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0891243203259503 |journal=Gender & Society |language=en |volume=18 |issue=1 |pages=82β102 |doi=10.1177/0891243203259503 |issn=0891-2432|url-access=subscription }}</ref>
