Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Elaine Craig offers a compelling, timely, and empirically rigorous indictment of Canadian legal professionals for their collective failure to act lawfully and ethically towards complainants in sexual assault cases." Canadian Journal of Law & Society
"This thorough and convincing book should be required reading for students and practitioners of criminal law and for the law societies that govern professional conduct. It will be a useful resource for feminists concerned about the treatment of women in sexual assault trials and the psychology professionals who deal with the aftermath suffered by victims." Quill & Quire
"Putting Trials on Trial: Sexual Assault and the Failure of the Legal Profession - a rigorous and damning indictment of the justice and legal systems' handling of sexual-assault cases in Canada - was finished before the #MeToo and #TimesUp movements seized national headlines. But it is arguably now more relevant than ever. For actors in and outside the legal profession, there is no shortage of answers in Craig's excoriating study. This book will undoubtedly generate controversy as it delivers a verdict upon the Canadian legal system: guilty." The Globe and Mail
