International Approaches to Rape
Editat de Nicole Westmarland, Geetanjali Gangolien Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 apr 2012
International Approaches to Rape gives an overview of rape law and policy in nine different countries, including the United States and Canada. Many governments have begun to take rape more seriously than in the past and have started to implement wide-ranging reforms; this book describes those reforms and assesses the degree to which they have been successful. Introducing readers to various national perspectives on rape, the contributors outline a comparative approach that highlights the similarities and differences between countries, contexts, laws, issues, policies, and interventions.

Recenzii
“Westmarland and Gangoli’s book is a call to action, an important reminder that practitioners and academics must devote more time and consideration to the undertheorized issues of national and global approaches to sexual violence.”
