Based on unique data on rape trials, victims' accounts and police records, Sue Lees's work is a searing indictment of the popular, legal and media treatment of rape. Presenting evidence that misogyny can still be found in the legal system, she argues the case for radical reforms across the board that will greatly boost the rights of the defendants in rape cases. Attention also focuses on the general public, as Lees analyses the social origins of a rapist's motivation. The result is a powerfuland disturbing book that cannot be ignored.

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Sue Lees has spent the last four years conducting three separate pieces of research into rape and sexual assault in Britain. Drawing on unique data on rape trials, police records of reported rape and sexual assault, and detailed questionnaires filled in by women who have been raped describing their assailants, Lees comes to the conclusion that the motivation for rape is not passion but rather sadistic, dominating, aggressive or even murderous intention. This book proposes that an understanding of sexual violence requires an analysis of the relations between social control mechanisms, hegemonic masculinity and socio-economical factors. It argues that the confusions and controversies around feminist thinking on the subject do not necessarily help understanding of the issues. Owner's Name inside. Slight foxing. 292 pages.
