Book Synopsis Rape and the Culture of the Courtroom by : Andrew E. Taslitz
Book excerpt: A study of how rape stereotypes are used by defence lawyers to gain acquittals in the USA. The author also presents reform proposals, consistent with feminist theories of justice, designed to improve both the American adversary system in general and the way in which the system handles rape cases.
