Cover

More praise for Cry Rape: “A Herculean piece of reportage. . . . Rife with graphic details and compelling dialogue culled from police reports and legal testimony, Cry Rape reads like first-rate fiction.” — Mike Popke, The Shepherd Express “Riveting. [Lueders’s] achievement is large—the book is not a polemic, the tone is not angry, but the systemic fallibility Cry Rape reveals is frightening.” — Doug Moe, The Capital Times “Bill Lueders shows what it really takes to be an investigative journalist. Endless energy to keep on battering at the wall of denial and cover-up until he exposes the truth. Few have the patience and the skill. Lueders has, and he’s written an important, exciting book.” — Alexander Cockburn “I think every single person who works for the criminal justice system—every single person—should be reading this book. . . . An excellent exposé of how people with the best intentions can be very, very wrong.” — Cheri Maples, former Madison police captain “A must read, a powerful indictment of how tunnel vision can lead police officers and prosecutors even to turn against crime victims in a desperate attempt to protect the system.” — Steven Drizin, director Center on Wrongful Convictions Northwestern University School of Law “If I was teaching Criminology 101, I would use this book.” — former Madison Police Chief David Couper Cry Rape Terrace Books, a division of the University of Wisconsin Press, takes its name from the Memorial Union Terrace, located at the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
