Why has so much of the public discussion of rape focused on a few
specific cases, and to what extent has this discussion incorporated
the feminist perspective on rape? Rape on Trial explores these
questions and provides answers based on a detailed examination of
the mainstream news coverage of the John and Greta Rideout marital
rape case, the Big Dan's Tavern gang rape case, and the Webb-Dotson
rape recantation case. Lisa M. Cuklanz traces where and how rape
reform ideas were granted legitimacy in mainstream news coverage.
She finds that while the subsequent fictionalized versions
frequently adopted the themes foregrounded in the news coverage,
they usually were more sympathetic toward-and indeed often took
on-the rape victim's point of view.
