Summary

Stark and powerful report of rape victims in a college town, including the searing experience of several women, from the day of the crime to the broken mechanics of justice in the aftermathThe Department of Justice investigated 350 sexual assaults reported to the Missoula police between January 2008 and May 2012. Few of these assaults were properly handled by either the university or local authorities. In this, Missoula is typical. Krakauer's devastating narrative of what happened in Missoula makes clear why rape is so prevalent on American campuses, and why rape victims are so reluctant to report assault
