Description

"Place examines the ambiguity of rape law by presenting cases where guilt lies uneasily. She explores larger ethical questions of what defines guilt, what is justice, and what is considered just punishment. Assuming a society can and must be judged by the way it treats its most despicable members, The Guilt Project looks with unflinching eyes at the way the American legal system defines, prosecutes, and punishes sex offenders. In our new era of Dateline justice , are we vigilant or just vigilantes?"--Jacket.
