Summary

The Campus Rape Frenzy is an investigative look into changes in the universities adjudicated sexual assault cases during the Obama/Biden years and the complicity of the media in falsely portraying campuses as hotbeds of violent crime against women.  Taylor and Johnson painstakingly debunk these claims and show how federal bureaucrats forced colleges and universities to essentially presume the guilt of accused students. The result has been a widespread disregard of such bedrock American principles as the presumption of innocence and due process.

My Take

Reading this book made me very angry.  As an attorney, I have always placed a huge value on the importance of due process to the functioning of our country.  The fact that numerous young men are being expelled from college and having their lives ruined as the result of consensual sexual encounters and are not given the opportunity to confront their accusers or adequately defend themselves is a travesty of justice.  A good companion book is Until Proven Innocent: Political Correctness and the Shameful Injustices of the Duke Lacrosse Rape Case, also by Stuart Taylor.
