In a context in which there has been considerable legal reform of sexual offences, \u003cem\u003eRethinking Rape Law\u003c\/em\u003e engages with developments spanning national, regional and international frameworks. It is only when we fully understand the differences between the law of rape in times of war and in times of peace, between common law and continental jurisdictions, between societies in transition and societies long inured to feminist activism, that we are able to understand and evaluate current practices, with a view to change and a better future for victims of sexual crimes.
