This book takes a critical look at the organizations and officials that process rape victims to see how the structure of their respective organizations often prevent them from providing responsive care.

Recenzje

"Placing rape work in an organizational context is a huge conceptual leap forward, not just for organizational sociology, but feminist sociology...Martin artfully combines the sophistication of a gender theorist, the social scientific expertise of an organizational sociologist, and the passion of an experienced and reflective activist."--The Law and Politics Book Review, Vol 16 No 6, June 2006
