Missoula: Rape and the Justice System in a College Town

Missoula: Rape and the Justice System in a College Town

The Pequod Review:

With Missoula, Jon Krakauer turns his focus to the elusive and politically-charged topic of rape, and specifically a handful of reported rapes in the small town of Missoula, Montana. While he uncovers interesting facts about the cases themselves, his attempt to reach broader conclusions (for example, about the reliability of rape accusations and the responsiveness of the judicial system) is less successful given such limited and contradictory evidence.
