"Missoula: Rape and the Justice System in a College Town" is a detailed exploration of the issue of sexual assault within the context of a college community. Author Jon Krakauer investigates several rape cases that occurred in Missoula, Montana, particularly focusing on the challenges faced by victims in seeking justice. The book draws attention to the societal and institutional barriers that often result in victims feeling unsupported or silenced.
Krakauer delves into the stigma surrounding sexual assault and highlights the systemic failings of law enforcement and the judicial system. He provides a thorough examination of the legal proceedings that victims navigate, revealing how these processes can further traumatize them. The narrative not only sheds light on individual stories but also critiques the broader cultural attitudes toward rape, particularly in college settings.
