In 1975 the Michigan Criminal Sexual Conduct Statute was the first so-called rape reform statute. . . . This book is the most systematic and comprehensive study to date of the purpose and effect of that legislation . . . Reading this book will make readers more sensitive to the fact that laws cannot change institutions and attitudes overnight, but changing the law or working for a change may have far wider implications than were imagined at the outset. . . . For anyone concerned with rape or legal reform generally, this book is highly recommended.-Social Service Review
