Credible

In Credible, Deborah Tuerkheimer, a legal expert and former prosecutor, explores the societal and systemic biases that influence how we perceive the credibility of sexual misconduct allegations. Drawing on case studies, personal accounts, and legal analysis, the book reveals how hidden biases and cultural assumptions often lead to the dismissal of survivors' claims, particularly those from marginalized groups. It offers a thought-provoking framework to understand these distortions and promotes a shift in how we approach believing victims, aiming to foster justice and change in both cultural and legal contexts.
