Virtual Collection: Sexual Assault and Law
Susan Sterett, Jeannine Bell, Margot Young
Co-Editors, Law and Society Review
With the recent focus, across social and traditional media, on high profile cases of sexual assault and harassment, it is timely to pull together a collection of past articles from the Law and Society Review that add to this conversation. Articles in this virtual issue date from the last thirty years. They illuminate a range of issues, for example: legal officials’ decisions about charging; challenges around conceptualizing sexual assault and its perpetrators; how juries are affected by evidence in sexual assault; and how women experience the criminal justice system.
