"Rape law reform has long been hailed as one of the most successful projects of second-wave feminism. Yet forty years after the anti-rape movement emerged, legal and medical institutions continue to resist implementing reforms intended to provide more just and compassionate legal and medical responses to victims of sexual violence. In Up Against a Wall, Rose Corrigan draws on interviews with over 150 local rape care advocates in communities across the United States to explore how and why mainstream systems continue to resist feminist reforms.In a series of richly detailed case studies, the book weaves together scholarship on law and social movements, feminist theory, policy formation and implementation, and criminal justice to show how the innovative legal strategies employed by anti-rape advocates actually undermined some of their central claims. But even as its more radical elements were thwarted, pieces of the rape law reform project were seized upon by conservative policy-makers and used to justify new initiatives that often prioritize the interests and rights of criminal justice actors or medical providers over the needs of victims"--

« Mes tympans se sont mis à siffler, mon cerveau à bouillir, je ne parvenais plus à penser qu’à une seule chose, qui ne me servait strictement à rien à cet instant. Je me suis souvenue de ce que m’avait dit le commissaire de police qui recueillait ma plainte. Il m’avait posé une question qui m’avait plongée dans la confusion la plus grande. J’avais répondu – on répond toujours à un commissaire – quelque chose que je dirai peut-être un jour. Il m’avait dit alors que je devais le taire, que cela resterait entre lui et moi, car si je le disais, cela me desservirait au tribunal.Allais-je donc passer au tribunal ?Je ne comprenais pas.Le criminel c’était l’autre, non ?Ou moi ? »D’un monologue guidé par l’étrange beauté d’un rêve, émerge le souvenir de faits qui eurent lieu sans autre témoin que l’air. L’air conserve la mémoire de toutes les histoires que les humains se racontent depuis la nuit des temps. Le viol est l’une des plus anciennes. Et des plus actuelles.

"Despite changes to laws and attitudes, rape continues at epidemic levels worldwide. As gatekeepers to the criminal justice system, law enforcement officers are important to the processing of rape cases and their interactions with victims can potentially affect the victim's reaction to and recovery from rape. In order to better understand rape and the processing of cases through the criminal justice and legal systems, Rape, Victims and Investigations explores the unique perceptions and experiences of detectives who respond to rape victims and investigate rape cases. The detective's investigation is the foundation of the prosecution's case; the book considers factors that contribute to the challenging nature of rape investigations, such as lack of evidence or a clear, credible victim statement. Detectives' perceptions of victims' revictimization by the criminal justice and legal systems are also explored. The book also looks at specific causes of police stress and burnout related to working rape cases, financial struggles faced by departments, and ways to meet these challenges.By integrating previous research within the context of rich interview data, Rape, Victims and Investigations provides deep insight for readers and will contribute to the continued improvement of treatment of victims by the criminal justice system. The book will be essential reading for academics, students, law enforcement officers, those who provide services to sexual assault victims and victims themselves"--
