Sommaire:

This authoritative one-stop resource helps readers understand the problem of sexual assault in the USA, including societal factors, notorious cases, laws and practices, victim advocacy and reform efforts, and keys to recovery.

Rape and Sexual Assault: A Reference Handbook discusses who is being victimized, who is perpetrating the offenses, and what can be done (and is being done) to reduce rape, sexual assault, and sexual harassment in homes and communities across America. The volume also explores the role that investigative shortcomings and rape culture have played in facilitating sexual assault and abuse, and how shifts in attitude and policy could combat this devastating crime.
