What About the Rapists?: Anarchist Approaches to Crime & Justice

Crime, Accountability, Justice. What do they mean? What do they look like? This zine explores contemporary anarchist theory and practice on the handling of assault and justice through five collected pieces.

Together, What About the Rapists? argues that we need to reconsider what we understand as problem behaviour before looking for solutions, presents a detailed accountability process, gives an overview of the history and difficulties of accountability processes, includes the voices of groups in the US who’ve taken direct action to physically confront their rapists, and attempts to draw together the points of disagreement and lessons learnt to help develop a pragmatic and anti-dogmatic approach to dealing with oppressive behaviour in our communities.
