Missoula: Rape and the Justice System in a College Town
$17.71 online at Bookshop.org
Missoula, Montana, is a typical college town with a beloved football team. Between January 2008 and May 2012, hundreds of students reported sexual assaults to local police. Few cases were handled well by the university or authorities. In that, Missoula is also typical. Jon Krakauer investigates a spate of campus rapes over four years, taking the town as a case study for a crime prevalent nationwide. He documents five victims: fear and self-doubt afterward, skepticism from police, prosecutors, and the public, and the cost of pushing forward. The stories cut through abstract debate to show acquaintance rape is not mixed signals. The victims deserve fairness from the justice system.
