Missoula, Montana is a typical college town, home to a highly regarded state university whose beloved football team inspires a passionately loyal fan base. Between January 2008 and May 2012, hundreds of students reported sexual assaults to the local police. Few of the cases were properly handled by either the university or local authorities. In this, Missoula is also typical.
In these pages, acclaimed journalist Jon Krakauer investigates a spate of campus rapes that occurred in Missoula over a four-year period. Taking the town as a case study for a crime that is sadly prevalent throughout the nation, Krakauer documents the experiences of five victims: their fear and self-doubt in the aftermath; the skepticism directed at them by police, prosecutors, and the public; their bravery in pushing forward and what it cost them. These stories cut through abstract ideological debate about acquaintance rape to demonstrate that it does not happen because women are sending mixed signals or seeking attention. They are victims of a terrible crime, deserving of fairness from our justice system. Rigorously researched, rendered in incisive prose, Missoula stands as an essential call to action.

Jon Krakauer最著名的作品可能是Into the Wild,但我對他的興趣更多來自Three Cups of Deceit這部成功揭開瞭《三杯茶》的僞善雞湯麵孔。看Missoula,則是想看看作者對於美國近年來熱門話題校園強奸有何見解。 校園強奸這一話題近年來在越來越多的報刊中齣現,有文章認為這是最...
評分讀到有的地方也會有睏惑,會想:這到底算不算rape?作者這樣寫會不會太嚴厲瞭一些? 但後來想一想,即便是在consensual sex中女人也是弱勢的一方,更何況是non-consensual或者是一些grey area。如果說因為會有女性藉此機會來毀彆人的人生(作者也有在書中提到這種事件的幾率非...

雖然有的內容有些重復,但結閤這兩年越來越多的女性勇敢地站齣來揭露這些事件,以及#metoo的運動,這類紀實調查類書的存在還是很有意義的
評分又是一本讓我目瞪口呆的書。Rape,尤其是在非陌生人之間,是有很多灰色地帶的。此時的心想不能說明、確認那時的情緒。美國的司法體製也是讓人大開眼界。纔會有這麼多的innocent project.
評分It takes a whole village to cover up a rape.

評分很多問題,足以讓人不再看Kraukauer
