Reviews
"Westmarland and Gangoli's book is a call to action, an important reminder that practitioners and academics must devote more time and consideration to the undertheorized issues of national and global approaches to sexual violence." Kerry Frances Crawford, Journal of Women
"This important book provides a distinctive comparative overview of progress and the continuing challenges in rape investigation and prosecution, using critical assessments of the current position in individual countries." Professor Jennifer Brown, London School of Economics and Political Science
"The global scope of this book is of enormous importance to the literature on rape law and policy. Taking a clear and jargon-free approach, this is a must-have addition for those interested in where we are now and for future reforms." Dr Helen Jones, Manchester Metropolitan University
