About this listen

Are you sure? What were you wearing? In the first of a two-part series, we sit down with Northwestern Pritzker School of Law professor and former prosecutor Deborah Tuerkheimer to discuss her book, Credible: Why We Doubt Accusers and Protect Abusers. We explore the "credibility discount" that grants abusers impunity and the cultural narratives that cause even well-intentioned people to doubt survivors. By examining the massive gap between the rarity of false reports and our collective skepticism, Tuerkheimer challenges us to break the legal and social patterns that preserve the status quo.
