Recenzii
'Anyone interested in sport and social justice issues simply must read Institutional Failures. The Duke case, now five years old, had many bad assumptions and twists and turns that confused the public for a long time. The book's diverse contributors give tremendous detail, put the story in the context of the sport, and include various perspectives that will help readers reach their own conclusions.' Richard Lapchick, University of Central Florida, USA 'This is an important book exploring the disaster that was the Duke lacrosse case. Initially a story about an alleged crime with overtones of race, class, and privilege, it became one about a District Attorney indifferent to justice. It fundamentally shook our faith in those institutions responsible for protecting us. This book provides important insights to assure that this does not happen again.' Thomas B. Metzloff, Duke University School of Law, USA

Descriere
The authors of this new collection argue that the many disparate facets of the now-infamous Duke University lacrosse controversy are best understood in the context of the three major socio-legal institutions in which this drama played out: the legal system, the American university, and the news media. These essays consider the role these institutions played in this case, and the lessons it might teach about the appropriate conduct and function of each of them.
