Such measures could help to combat underreporting of sexual abuse, but may not address the heart of the issue: accountability. If the U.N. is unable to properly punish offenders, and local authorities in at-risk areas are unwilling to do so, abusers remain free. That impunity is an additional blow for children victimized not only by poverty and hardship, but in some cases by the very people sent to protect them...
...wishes of student groups. This stands in stark contrast to the dictatorial and opaque method by which the College’s new alcohol policy was changed earlier last fall. We encourage the administration to continue down this path by not turning these guidelines into petty bureaucratic rules that punish students if they show up to meetings a minute late or don’t cross their t’s.

Rockwell is unnerving in the part of a born-again Christian who attempts to redeem himself in Annie’s eyes, despite her rejections. His ploy to use religion as an excuse to punish Annie is disturbing; but even as he commits an unforgivable act, he seems just as vulnerable as his victim. In the same manner, Beckinsale’s performance is powerful and honest. Trapped by Glenn’s pleas, the lies of her affair, and even her daughter, Annie...
