A study of how rape stereotypes are used by defence lawyers to gain acquittals in the USA. The author also presents reform proposals, consistent with feminist theories of justice, designed to improve both the American adversary system in general and the way in which the system handles rape cases.

With an understanding of the historical roots of the Fourth Amendment, this book suggests that we can upend negative assumptions of modern search and seizure law, and create fresh institutional approaches that give political voice to citizens and safeguard against unnecessary humiliation and dehumanization at the hands of the police.
