For years, storylines about sexual assaults have focused on perpetrators and victims/survivors--and for very good reasons. There's a related storyline, too. It's about institutional affiliates who either observe or know about sexual assaults but do not take appropriate action on the victims' behalf. Omissions make it easier for perpetrators to get away with assaults, for assaults to continue, and for institutions to cover up what happened. Joining me today to discuss this important issue are Professor Amos Guiora (University of Utah), whose new book, Armies of Enablers, is a major contribution to the field, and Elizabeth Abdnour, Lansing, MI-area attorney, who is an advocate for survivors and outspoken on the issue of institutional enablement.
