Více o knize

Focusing on the language used in sexual assault trials, the book offers a feminist analysis that highlights how linguistic descriptions shape perceptions of events and individuals involved. Through a case study of a male student accused of sexual assault, it examines the dynamics of university and criminal trials within the context of international rape trial studies. By revealing the impact of cultural attitudes on courtroom discourse, it advocates for a deeper understanding of these trials to foster a more equitable judicial system.
