<DIV><B>A legal expert&rsquo;s investigation of why some women falsely claim rape, and the devastating effects on those who have been wrongfully accused.</B></DIV><DIV><BR /> For each criminal category, a small percentage of claims are proven to be unfounded. Unfortunately, cases of rape are no exception. As a district attorney in New York City, Linda Fairstein encountered these false claims more than a few times. This kind of accusation not only results in the unjust punishment of innocent men, but also serves to trivialize the experiences of rape survivors. In <I>Why Some Women Lie About Rape</I>,Fairstein draws upon her decades of experience to shed light on this difficult issue, including the motivations behind a false rape accusation.</DIV><DIV>&#160;</DIV><DIV>Originally published in&#160;<I>Cosmopolitan</I>, this essay is now available in digital format for the first time and&#160;features a new introduction by the author.</DIV>
