Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Susan Caringella explores the legal definitions and prosecution of rape, especially date/acquaintance rape, deconstructing the myths and rhetoric used to blame the victim and presenting practical solutions to the problem of rape reform. Drawing on feminist and critical theory in sociology and criminology, as well as conservative and liberal theory in political science, this book assesses alternative models of rape reform, relying on concrete court cases and statistical data and the fascinating revelations of public opinion and attitude studies, which showcase the discrimination and humiliation rape victims face when they go public.
