Carnal Crimes: Sexual Assault Law in Canada, 1900-1975 - Backhouse, Constance

Clean, tight, unmarked; very minimal wear; appears unread; This is an engaging and powerful book about sexual assault crimes in Canadian history by one of Canada's foremost legal historians. Using a case-study approach, Backhouse explores nine sexual assault trials from across the country throughout the 20th century. She deals sensitively and deftly with these difficult stories. Superbly written and riveting, this legal history of sexual assaults opens a window, long closed, into the myths and stereotypes which, for so long, have inhabited our laws while also revealing the incredible pain and injustices suffered by victims.
