Opis

For several decades public disquiet has been intermittently but vehemently expressed about the crime of rape and the way it is handled by the criminal justice system. But in the new millennium the legal process still fails to provide an adequate response to sexual violation and abuse.Rape and the Legal Process examines some of the difficulties which this crime presents and analyses in detail how the legal system could and should be addressing them.

Recenzje

This second edition of Jennifer Temkin's work has been eagerly awaited and it does not disappoint ... very easy to read ... The data is very recent and the analysis is both detailed and interesting.
