Rape in the United States
Here's a statement made before the Subcommittee on Crime and Drugs Committee on the Judiciary United States Senate by Susan Carbon, the director of the Office on Violence Against Women. The full title is "Rape in the United States: The Chronic Failure to Report and and Investigate Rape Cases". While we all know the severity of this problem, it is very exciting to see such a eloquent, passionate statement made before the Senate and to see some members of the Senate taking this problem seriously. Hopefully, we will see a shift in the treatment of rape cases by the justice system.
