Justice delayed as justice denied,
By Patricia B. Ross (Wellesley, MA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sexual assault: Confronting rape in America (Hardcover)
Valuable review for the period of 1960-1976 of the status of rape laws in America together with important bibliography of both government documents and laws governing rape and many other gender oriented crimes including incest, pedophilia, assault, physical and emotional abuse of children and women by authors of anti-rape bill presented and passed unanimously by Charles McC. Mathias, Jr. of the U.S. Senate as an amendment to a national health care bill in 1973, the first of its kind to attempt to deal with the medieval construction of sex crimes from its English origins. With numerous statistics, and first hand reports of victims, a comprehensive review of them, and the judicial and legislatve environment of sexual predators and how they are, or are not, dealt with by a legal reform-less system identified at the time as crucial to American public policy. Still pertinent in 2008 as little has been done to curb this pervasive problem in all societies.
Needs updating from the then current statistics of 1 boy and 9 girls of 10 children victims in America estimated to be nearly 500,000 or more per year, 1 every 2 minutes, as acknowledged by FBI Uniform Crime Reports, of those reported.
