Putting Trials on Trial: Sexual Assault and the Failure of the Legal Profession by Elaine Craig
victoria_forbes's review
3.0
This was a book that I had to read for school only, but by the end I was quite grateful for having to read it. It had a lot of great defenses as well as perspectives that really made me stop and think for a second about different perspectives. The quotes from true sexual assault cases in the court system were difficult to read at times but very important in order to make the authors point.
The main reason that I gave it 3/5 stars would be because this form of book just really isn't for me. I simply prefer to have a story to follow along with rather than simply facts. I guess I'm just not a straight non-fiction reader.

This book added so much nuance to the discussions that I see online that I recommend reading this book before talking about sexual assault in relationship to Canadian law. It is necessary reading.
