What has Reform of Rape Legislation Wrought?
Loh, Wallace D.
Journal of Social Issues, v37 n4 p28-52 Fall 1981
Compares the impact of common law and reform rape legislation on prosecution based on analysis of 445 forcible and statutory rape cases in King County, Washington. Concludes that the impact of the statutory reform has been mainly symbolic and educative for society at large, rather than instrumental for law enforcement. (Author/MJL)
