Patricia Yancey Martin
Purchase her book: Rape Work
Despite an increase in rape crisis centers and
improvements in the treatment of rape victims
over the past 30 years, many are still pervasively
mistreated by the police, doctors, lawyers, judges
and administrators who process them, according
to a Florida State University sociologist.
Patricia studied how the law enforcement, legal
and health care systems respond when someone
alleges that he or she has been raped. This
includes activities such as collecting physical and
narrative evidence, protecting the scene of the
crime, identifying, arresting and prosecuting
rapists, and aiding and comforting victims.
She found that most people who work with rape
victims are sympathetic to them and their plight.
