Description

Confronting Campus Rape: Legal Landscapes, New Media, and Networked Activism offers a historical, legal, and social justice approach to the national crisis of sexual violence on college campuses. The author adeptly combines her personal experience with research to explore campus sexual assault and the experiences of survivors; to explain the wave of activism that has unfolded in the past few years and its meaning for students and advocacy; and to provide a guidebook on legal rights. This book is ideal for courses on social problems, race/class/gender, social movements, social justice, sociology of law, and American studies.
