CREDIBLE: Why We Doubt Accusers and Protect Abusers 
by Deborah Tuerkheimer, Class of 1940 Research Professor of Law, Northwestern Pritzker School of Law

Interviewed by Emily Sack, Professor of Law, Roger Williams University School of Law

In Credible, Prof. Tuerkheimer, a leading authority on sexual violence and sexual harassment, examines why we are primed not to believe sexual abuse allegations, and how we are all shaped by false assumptions and hidden biases embedded in our culture, our legal system and our psyches. She provides a framework for how we can change both law and culture and make lasting progress toward equitable treatment and justice for survivors of sexual abuse.
