Missoula: Rape and the Justice System in a College Town

Uncommon card · No. 166466

Missoula: Rape and the Justice System in a College Town is a 2015 nonfiction book written by Jon Krakauer. It details the stories of several female students raped in Missoula, Montana, with many of the rapes linked in some way to the University of Montana and their football team. Krakauer attempts to illuminate why many victims do not wish to report their rapes to the police and he criticizes the justice system for giving the benefit of the doubt to assailants but not to victims. Krakauer was inspired to write the book when a friend revealed to him that she had been raped.
