Summary: A graphic illustration of what's wrong with America
Comment: In her book Sex Crimes Alice Vachss shows the reader exactly what's going on in the criminal justice system. For those of you who watch Law and Order and see rapists getting life terms wake up! This book illustrates in stunning detail, and without sugar coating, exactly what is going on today in the courts: Prosecutors who don't care, scumbag defense attorneys and judges who should be off the bench at best in prison at worst. Vachss pulls no punches and makes no apologies as she shows us just how deeply apathy and greed have been incorporated into the justice system. This book will start a fire in your belly and once it gets going it won't be extinguished.

Summary: "She drinks blood for breakfast" a judge remarks
Comment: We desperately need more like this strong lady here (I wish she had been with me in 1968) This is some of Alice Vachss's experiences in the court room prosecuting sex crimes (special victims). She enlightens you as to all the back room deals / politicking that favors the rapist / abuser instead of the victim. How rape/sexual abuse are trivialized. It's a sad commentary on our justice system and us as human beings, but I am still hopeful knowing a warrior like Ms Vachss is there.
This is her and her husbands (Andrew, who writes bloody awful fiction novels) fight. Let's hope for a KO. I hope she writes more for us, she's that good and interesting. I'm shocked and sorta put out that there aren't more reviews here. Maybe Ms Vachss should do a speaking tour of some kind. Her kind of good deeds need advertising.
And to the reviewer "What an ego". I don't know how you got that impression but hey!, Ms Vachss has got every right to be proud and crow alittle. Tho she doesn't come off that way to me at all. And as far as Mr. Vachss (a warrior for children who are victims of abuse) goes, he should leave the writing to his better half ;o)

Summary: Bravo for bravery, claity and brilliance
Comment: In respnse to "What an ego" I can only say that this reader can't read perceptively and/or has a bad case of twisted projection or perhaps is a perpetrator him/herself and fears the justice seekers. 'Nuff said about that. Mrs. Vachss' book is a superlative testimomy to a strenuous career of unrelenting passion to procecute the sickening evil that goes by the understatement "sex crimes." People tend to be afraid of this subject because this country is rife with sexual (of all brands) crimes. I recommend this book highly, even higher than that for a look at the guts and undepinnings of this culture. I would make it mandatory high school reading. It might serve to scare would be perps and quiet the nervousness of the victims--to know that someone so courageous, uncompromising, and uncorruptible is on the side of true heroic justice.
