This unprecedented in-depth account of how our major institutions
respond to the crime of rape is the first empirical study of rape
victims in the United States as they come into contact with those
who staff our police stations, hospitals, and courthouses. As this
engrossing study makes clear, rape does not end with the
assailant's departure; the profound suffering of the victim can be
diminished or heightened by the response of these institutions. The
authors provide direct, on-the-scene reports of how rape victims
confront and endure the often devastating effects of institutional
processing. Their work is based on first-hand observations,
personal interviews, and case histories that document the rape
victim's plight, and includes tables that present all research
findings in easy-to-grasp numerical terms. The authors note changes
now taking place, and argue that further institutional changes must
be made to delegitimize rape in our society. The new introductory
essay locates The Victim of Rape within the context of four lines
of research: studies looking at the criminal justice system
processing of such cases, the connection of rape to everyday life,
social-structural and ideological support for rape, and strategies
for prevention.
