Description
The Victim of Rape Institutional Reactions by Lynda Lytle Holmstrom and Ann Wolbert Burgess is an in-depth examination of how major institutions respond to rape victims in the United States. This study provides a detailed account of the often devastating effects of institutional processing on rape victims, highlighting the need for changes to delegitimize rape in society. The authors' research is based on first-hand observations, personal interviews, and case histories that document the experiences of rape victims as they interact with police stations, hospitals, and courthouses. The study also presents findings in numerical terms, providing a clear overview of the issues at hand. This book locates The Victim of Rape within the context of broader research on the criminal justice system, everyday life, social-structural and ideological support for rape, and strategies for prevention.
