Rape Justiceresponds to the arguments of scholars, activists and practitioners about the continued silence surrounding sexual violence in public discourse, the failure of legal courts to recognise and respond to rape, and the stigma and shame that continues to be directed at victim-survivors. Importantly, each chapter explores the limits of criminal law for achieving 'rape justice' and highlights possibilities for expanding how we conceptualise justice in the aftermath of sexual violence.
