Licensed to Rape? is a must-read for legal professionals, rape crisis workers, rape survivors and their families. This book strips away all pretense and reveals fundamental truths about our legal system . . . and about ourselves . . . when confronting sexual violence.

5.0 out of 5 stars How a jury member recreates the trauma of the trial!, March 23, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Licensed to Rape? (Paperback)

I read Licensed to Rape? upon the recommendation of a friend. What a compelling and chilling story! A woman brings rape charges against her physician and suffers the inevitable trauma necessary to bring her case to trial. I was impressed with the author's ability to recreate the individual personalities so vividly. Since the author was a member of the jury I felt every minute of the proceedings to be intensely accurate. The jury room descriptions especially were eye opening. I would highly recommmend this book as a lesson in how the legal process works as well as how one person faced a life altering challenge.
