The Sexual Assault Survivor's Guide to the Legal Process

A straightforward and supportive guide to the basics of the sexual assault reporting and trial process, providing first-hand insights to survivors, advocates, and allies. This step-by-step zine is designed to be a written companion to the legal process following incidents of sexual violence, because while helpful resources may be offered (such as a victim advocate), progress and updates are often communicated quickly and verbally, leaving survivors little time to process or make deliberate decisions about their cases. From the initial report and interviews through jury selection, trial, and sentencing, Emma Alice Johnson shares what to expect, arming readers with and empowering survivors with the information they need.
