Böcker av Susan Estrich

At a time when three-quarters of black Americans believe the criminal justice system is racist; when nearly half of whites think it's ineffective and in decline; when crime still tops the list of public concerns, and politicians exploit public distrust of the system, this book makes a powerful, controversial, and urgently needed statement.

Many men believe that they can force women to have sex against their will and that it isn't rape-at least, not if the man knows the women and doesn't beat her up or wield a weapon. The law's casual treatment of such rape cases is the subject of this trenchantly written call for reform.
