challenging informative reflective slow-paced

4.5

Plenty of citations and a handful of footnotes. I did find the use of the term "effing" to be frustratingly common and I think in a book unafraid to say 'penetrate' and 'penis' that the author should either use the word 'fucking' or rewrite the sentence to avoid the temptation to use 'effing.' Basically, swear or don't. There's no need to hide the urge behind asterisks or cutesy other terms. I wish there had been a bit more separation between hypothetical scenarios and actual cases and televised episode featuring sexual assault as it was somewhat easy to muddle up the information.
