Guilty Without Trial

Kristin gave me a copy of the book Guilty Without Trial to read. It is completely optional, but I think all of our team is likely to end up reading it. The book takes a look at prostitution in Kolkata. It is written based on a lot of research and experience, and is written very objectively. It almost feels like reading a text book. I'm still in the middle of it, but I can already highly recommend it to anyone with a heart for those issues. The information in it is very eye opening, and therefore horrifying to me in many ways. I never realized just how complex and deep rooted many of the problems are, and as a result how difficult it is for any change to happen.
