Notes on The Steubenville Rape Case: Addressing the Longstanding Issues

Things often come to me in bursts.  Bursts posted here concerning the Steubenville rape case.  This thread will be ongoing.

[Trigger Warning (TW) for topic]I’ve been writing about/following this case for months.  My overall concerns with the Steubenville, Ohio rape trial is that regardless of the judge’s decision, there are longstanding problems that need to be addressed:

1. Redefining justice for survivors outside judicial proceedings

2. Incorporating the study of sex, gender, power, and violence into high school curriculum.
