The Victim’s Voice in the Sexual Misconduct Crisis investigates
how a victim’s voice, identity, credibility, and proof are
challenged or established in the current sexual misconduct crisis.
Using communication and rhetorical analysis, gender studies, and
law and society perspectives, Mary Schuster examines concerns such
as victim impact statements offered in sentencing hearings of
convicted offenders, due process and Title IX requirements in
campus sexual assault investigations, and laws and Title VII
standards governing workplace sexual harassment complaints.
Schuster also analyzes the testimony offered in the 1991 and 1998
U.S. Senate Judiciary Hearings regarding the Supreme Court
nominations of Clarence Thomas and Brett Kavanaugh, social
movements such as #Me Too, and global activists’ efforts to
challenge gender stereotypes and hierarchies. This book argues that
we cannot outlaw or legislate away sexual misconduct, but must
instead focus on cultural, social, and systemic changes in order to
change the current climate. Moreover, the author argues for zero
tolerance for sexual misconduct, but recommends a gradation of
punishment or sanctions for offenders, offering examples of
successful educational and therapeutic efforts to alter
misconceptions regarding sexual misconduct. Scholars of gender
studies, communication, legal studies, and rhetoric will find this
book particularly useful.
