New Book 'Rape Crisis: Responding to Sexual Violence'. It can be bought via the publishers website or Amazon
From the publisher's website "Rape Crisis centres have provided the most effective and valued source of support for survivors of rape in Britain ever since the centres were developed as part of the women’s movement of the 1970s. Yet now, at the same time as Britain is failing survivors of rape in the courts, there is also a threat to the work delivered through the centres.
For anyone who wants to understand how we reached this point of crisis, or who wants to be able to respond, this book helpfully provides:
Too few people know about the centres or how they are run. This book documents the work and story of Rape Crisis in England and Wales, drawing comparisons with similar centres and networks in Scotland and Ireland. It provides the reader, whether an interested individual, a student or academic, a professional or voluntary worker, with a flavour of the original Rape Crisis work, and assesses its actual and potential value, here and now".
