Deborah Tuerkheimer: ...that a credibility complex shapes all of us
Update: 2023-03-15
Description
The vast majority of sexual abuse victims in this country are girls and women. Statistics show that most abusers are men and most sexual assault complaints never result in an arrest, much less charges, a prosecution, or a conviction. On this episode, we'll take a look at the cultural and legal forces that 'downgrade the credibility' of sexual abuse survivors. Our guest is former special victims prosecutor and legal scholar Deborah Tuerkheimer who's a leading authority on sexual violence. She's the author of the new book, "CREDIBLE: Why We Doubt Accusers and Protect Abusers." Her website is deborahtuerkheimer.com.
