Drawing on the most recent studies, this collection of articles
assesses and evaluates current criminal justice responses,
policies, and practices regarding sexual violence in the United
States and Canada. Focusing on methodological and ideological
issues, rape law reform, criminal justice responses, social
contexts of sexual assault, and community responses, authors from
the fields of sociology, criminal justice, law, counseling,
anthropology, biology, and psychology provide detailed studies of
the problems and challenges involved in this very sensitive and
important issue. The broad perspective provides readers with a
comprehensive introduction to the current state of criminal justice
responses to sexual assault as well as the changes and progress
being made in the area. By providing such extensive coverage, the
volume also offers readers a guide to the very nature and extent of
sexual violence and its consequences.
As we enter the 21st century, numerous changes have occurred
within the criminal justice system and society's understanding of
rape as a crime of violence. Significant reforms have emerged in
both the United States and Canada in terms of how various
institutions respond to the crime of rape and the needs of rape
survivors. This progress demands an evaluation of the current state
of pressing issues regarding the many facets of sexual assault.
Kelley and Hodgson offer original contributions from both American
and Canadian scholars and practitioners from several social science
disciplines in an effort to provide a critical assessment of a
timely and important issue.
