Table of ContentsReviews'Anyone interested in sport and social justice issues simply must read Institutional Failures. The Duke case, now five years old, had many bad assumptions and twists and turns that confused the public for a long time. The book's diverse contributors give tremendous detail, put the story in the context of the sport, and include various perspectives that will help readers reach their own conclusions.' Richard Lapchick, University of Central Florida, USA 'This is an important book exploring the disaster that was the Duke lacrosse case. Initially a story about an alleged crime with overtones of race, class, and privilege, it became one about a District Attorney indifferent to justice. It fundamentally shook our faith in those institutions responsible for protecting us. This book provides important insights to assure that this does not happen again.' Thomas B.
