Description
The author discusses the case of the Scottsboro Boys (1931) and the Kissing Case (1958), both instances of young Black boys being falsely accused of rape.
There is also an exploration of how carceral feminism, which promotes incarceration as the primary or only response to sexual violence, itself perpetuates sexual violence and does not address its root causes.
The book also contains a discussion of the case of Marissa Alexander, who was arrested for shooting warning shots into the air to protect herself against her abusive husband, who had been sexually assaulting her.
