Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Wall Street Journal bestseller! Alan Dershowitz, one of America’s most respected legal scholars and a New York Times bestselling author proves—with incontrovertible evidence—that he is entirely innocent of the sexual misconduct accusations against him, while suggesting a roadmap for how such allegations should be handled in a just society. “Maybe the question isn’t what happened to Alan Dershowitz. Maybe it’s what happened to everyone else.”—Politico Alan Dershowitz has been called “one of the most prominent and consistent defenders of civil liberties in America” by Politico and “the nation’s most peripatetic civil liberties lawyer and one of its most distinguished defenders of individual rights” by Newsweek. Yet he has come under intense criticism for applying those same principles, and his famed “shoe‑on‑the‑other‑foot test,” to those accused of sexual misconduct. In Guilt by Accusation, Dershowitz provides an in‑depth analysis of the false accusations against him, alongside a full presentation of the exculpatory evidence that proves his account, including emails from his accuser and an admission of his innocence from her lawyer, David Boies. Additionally, he examines current attitudes toward accusations of sexual misconduct, which are today, in the age of #MeToo, accepted as implicit truth without giving the accused a fair chance to defend themselves and their innocence, and suggests possible pathways back to a society and legal system in which due process is respected above public opinion and the whims of social media mobs. This book is Alan Dershowitz’s plea for fairness for both accuser and accused, his principled stand for due process no matter the allegation, and his compelling assertion of his own innocence. It is essential reading for anyone who wants to know the inside story behind the accusations against him or who cares about the current societal debate over how we should handle accusations of sexual misconduct. The #MeToo movement has generally been a force for good, but as with many good movements, it is being exploited by some bad people for personal profit. Supporters of the #MeToo movement must not allow false accusers to hurt real victims by hiding behind its virtuous shield, turning it into an exploitive sword against innocent people.

Book excerpt: Sexual violence is an issue every college in America must work to prevent. Critical race scholars such as Derrick Bell may argue sexual violence can be viewed through a lens of race because racism is ordinary and not aberrational (Crewe, 2021). Historical context can affect the perceptions racialized groups or populations have when discussing sexual violence, like Black students for example. Historically, Black men have been socially connected to hypersexuality and criminality (Baker,1998). This may affect how Black men view peers accused of sexual violence. Black women, however, have a history of being met with skepticism or disbelief when they disclose experiencing sexual violence (Brubaker & Mancini, 2017). Studies show the majority of rapes are intra-racial (Koch, 1995; Wheeler & George, 2001). Thus, how sexual violence impacts Black communities is important to explore. This study examines the following questions: (1) How do Black men perceive rape allegations made by Black women against Black men? (2) What impacts those perceptions? To answer both questions, I conducted a study where participants were presented with a hypothetical scenario. The scenario contained a hypothetical intra-racial occurrence of sexual violence in which a Black woman alleged a Black man assaulted her. Using inductive coding, I analyzed the interview findings using intersectionality and cultural betrayal trauma theory (CBTT). In analyzing the findings of 14 interviews conducted, I looked for perceptions Black male participants had of sexual assault allegations made against Black men made by Black women. Fourteen participants, who were enrolled in college at the undergraduate level at a predominantly white institution (PWI) in California, were involved in this study. Data was collected via virtual semi-structured one-on-one interviews. Findings revealed Black men had a myriad of perceptions about intra-racial sexual violence on Black communities. They were supportive of the survivor in the hypothetical scenario and identified key elements of the survivor's dismissal as well as barriers to her disclosure of the assault. Participants also believed their Black male peers would have mixed reactions to the scenario, with some supporting and affirming the survivor, and others dismissing and invalidating the survivor's experience. Participants noted the differences in such responses to scenarios included upbringing, media influences, reputation, lack of institutional trust, and other factors. Practical suggestions included an institutional change within the university setting to acknowledge elements of consent, coercion, victim-blaming, and other elements of rape culture outside of explicit conversations about sexual violence. This included revising particular Title IX orientations, creating courses to highlight these elements within their curricula, hosting culturally relevant workshops for mandated reporters, as well as Title IX officers and university police departments specifically, as well as implementing taskforces to strategically implement these suggestions. Suggestions also included incorporating newsletters to outline how sexual violence impacts different minoritized groups and incorporating more minoritized group resources into national sexual violence college prevention reports. Some also suggested incorporating restorative justice models within colleges & universities for students to establish systems of pressure to hold institutions accountable for making requisite changes to address sexual violence concerns on campus. Suggestions for future research include exploring the relationships between Black men and institutional agents (i.e., Title IX officers and police officers), Black men's perceptions of intra-racial sexual violence allegations at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Black men's perceptions of intra-racial sexual violence allegations at higher education institutions across the United States beyond just the West Coast, Black women's perceptions of intra-racial sexual violence, as well as perceptions of intra-racial sexual violence experienced in other racial/cultural groups.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through the Eyes of the Accused takes the reader on a literary journey into the drinking establishments as we meet James, Tammy, Sally, and Dawn. James' romantic attention shifts from Denise to Dawn, and the former doesn't take this lying down. Tammy plots to have James arrested with a trumped up story of sexual assult. "Great idea," Tammy says, "lets nail that creep". Their efforts are sadly successful and he is hauled before Judge Thomas who sets bail at fifteen hundred dollars. The reader watches the legal dealings that follow and share James' frustration at the injustice - "How could someone do something so rotten to another human being?" Later in the book James finds a new romantic partner brought into his life; he begins to date Tina. The court gives him five years probation. Soon Dave, the probation officer, has him tested as being intoxicated over the legal limit - a violation of probation. "You people have been trying to put me in jail right from the beginning and now you've got you wish," James defiantly tells Dave. He finds himself sentenced to nine months in jail all stemming from a crime he didn't commit. Through The Eyes of the Accused does not shirk from taking the reader inside the jail cell for the pain suffered there. Ultimately Jim and Tina focus on a plan to get Denise to spill the beans. Tina goes undercover with several others and unbeknownst to Denise, she is tape recorded describing how she framed him. At last vindicated, he is release from jail - "It seems so good to be out of here... it's finally over."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arrest is one of the oldest techniques used by jurisdictions across the globe to secure peace, uphold law and order and ensure internal security of their citizens. The mere thought of arrest or curtailment of one’s sacrosanct liberty and freedom is more than enough to send shivers down the spine of not only a common man but also a seasoned and habitual criminal. The fear of arrest arises not only out of the consequences of curtailment of freedom and liberty but also the apprehension of infliction of injuries to one’s body by the police and the risk of being subjected to cruel, torturous, and inhuman treatment inside the prison. I can completely relate to that feeling when you pick up a book, flip on to its very first pages and find that, yet again, it has been dedicated to someone else and not to YOU! This book is for the reader, you, and only you – to learn, grow and develop your understanding of law. I also owe immense gratitude to Dr. Subramanian Swamy (Ex – M.P), Sr. Adv. O.P Sharma (Ex – Vice Chairman, Bar Council of Punjab and Haryana), Adv. Gaurav Sharma and Dr. Niteesh Kumar Upadhyay for their unparalleled support and guidance. I will also be forever indebted to all the Learned Advocates, Professors and Judicial Officers for teaching me the letters of law from scratch and mentoring me at every possible step. Last but not the least, I would like to extend my gratitude to everyone with whom I discussed the idea of this book and got exposed to numerous new dimensions of this topic.
