About this ebook
Abstract: This hearing was conducted to present information to Congress about rape from rape victims and those who work with rape victims. The specific concern of the committee was the trend for lawmakers and law enforcement officials to add to the trauma that rape victims suffer. Although statistics show that the rate of rape has increased and the arrest rates for rape have decreased, lawmakers have been debating new hurdles to the legal obstacle course that must be traversed by the victims of rape before they can get help they need. In the confusion and terror of the immediate aftermath of rape, some would require a woman to initiate a found legal process that is frequently humiliating and all too often futile.
