Is justice possible for a woman raped in contemporary patriarchal
culture? This book explores one of the major conundrums of our
time: given all the feminist activism and reforms of the last 50
years, why does rape remain so prevalent and justice so elusive? In
exploring these questions, Jan Jordan takes us back into the
patriarchal origins of our rape culture in order to trace the
connections between past laws and current justice realities. Her
examination covers developments in police and court processes and
explores the connections between men, masculinity, and rape before
considering the scope of rape prevention. She argues the need for
urgent transformation of the rape-condoning cultures that currently
make it impossible for rape prevalence to abate or for rape victims
to receive justice.
