Is justice possible for a woman raped in contemporary patriarchal culture? This book explores one of the major conundrums of our time: given all the feminist activism and reforms of the last 50 years, why does rape remain so prevalent and justice so elusive? In exploring these questions, Jan Jordan takes us back into the patriarchal origins of our rape culture in order to trace the connections between past laws and current justice realities. Her examination covers developments in police and court processes and explores the connections between men, masculinity, and rape before considering the scope of rape prevention. She argues the need for urgent transformation of the rape-condoning cultures that currently make it impossible for rape prevalence to abate or for rape victims to receive justice.

Jan Jordan is Emerita Professor of Criminology at Te Herenga Waka - Victoria University of Wellington, Aotearoa New Zealand. She has spent more than three decades researching sexual violence, with the primary aim of making the voices of women silenced by rape heard by those positioned to facilitate their access to justice. Her books include The word of a woman? Police, rape and belief (Palgrave Macmillan) and Serial survivors: Women's narratives of surviving rape (Federation Press). Dr Jordan has also spent much of her career working collaboratively with New Zealand Police to improve sexual assault investigation processes, involving various advisory and consultative roles as well as direct input presenting research-informed material on specialist sexual assault investigation courses. She is recognised internationally for her commitment to translating academic research into the advocacy and activism needed to end the gendered violence of patriarchy.
