Can There Be Justice? Examining the Justice System's Role in Sexual Assault Cases
We got to stop raising people to think violence is a solution. ... We don't need to go out and purposely commit acts of violence against others without provocation, without reason, just because we want to feel more powerful.
What happens when the justice system is put under the microscope, especially in cases of sexual assault and rape? In this thought-provoking episode of 'Voices in Recovery', hosts Darcy and David Lewry tackle these difficult questions head-on. They explore how power dynamics within the justice system can often shield perpetrators and fail victims. From the influence of military culture to the entitlement seen in celebrity circles, they dig deep into why accountability is so elusive in these cases.
David and Darcy don't shy away from the hard truths, discussing how the system sometimes seems designed to protect those in power rather than deliver justice. Yet, amidst the heavy conversation, there's a glimmer of hope as they advocate for systemic change and community-driven solutions. This episode is essential listening for anyone looking to understand the complexities and challenges of seeking justice for sexual assault survivors.
