Pros

This book is well researched and carefully presented. I loveeee how it reads almost like a story, instead of a text.

Krakauer still manages to evoke a lot of emotions. His insights are very pertinent to what we are seeing almost everyday in the news.

Missoula is krakauer's investigation into the handling of * cases at the university of montana. This happens everywhere, on every campus and its a tragedy.



Cons

He denounces missoula prosecutors for not pressing charges when there is scant evidence and reasonable doubt as to what happened. He really advocates for the university investigation/trial system, which is at best a kangaroo court, as preferable until...  Read More

Data shows that the incidence of * on college campuses is roughly 30 fold less than “one-in-five”. For non-students, the rate of * assault is 7. Times higher than for students. This observation is not based on any statistics and may not be correct. It...  Read More

    I commend those brave women who came forward to report their sexual assault to police but then it makes me angry how the justice system handled the situations in which the victim was trying to prove she was telling the truth

    In my mind i guess i knew these issues of assault particularly in college were a problem but i didnt realize just how much pressure there is on the victim to not press charges nor how much pressure the law enforcement and legal eagles put on the victims to not move forward with their cases

    What a shame it was necessary to bring attention to these horrendous crimes that go unpunished
