Drawing on actor-network theory and feminist technology studies, Andrea Quinlan combs through sixty-two interviews with police, nurses, scientists, and lawyers, as well as archival records and legal cases to trace changes in sexual assault forensics, law, advocacy, and anti-violence activism in Ontario. Through this history Quinlan bravely and provocatively argues that the SAEK reflects and reinforces the criminal justice system\u0026amp;#x2019;s distrust of sexual assault victims.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eList of Figures \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAcknowledgements \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eEpigraph\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003col\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntroduction: Diffracting the Technoscientific Witness\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eInscriptions of Doubt: Law, Anti-Rape Activism, and the Early SAEK\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eStabilizing the SAEK: Controversies in Practice, Advocacy, and Expertise\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAssembling the Genetic Technoscientific Witness: Visions of Justice, Safety, and the Stranger Rapist\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eInstability Within: The Technoscientific Witness in Contemporary Practice\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eReassembling Technoscience: Troubled Pasts and Imagined Futures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAppendix: Interview Sample\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eReferences\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eNotes\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52595492978968,"sku":"9781487520601","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-technoscientific-witness-of-rape-contentious-histories-of-law-feminism-and-forensic-science-paperback-softback-9781487520601","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
