She examines the nature of rape, drawing together the work of criminologists, sociologists and psychiatrists to analyse what drives the perpetrators of sexual violence. Rape - A History looks at the perception of rape, both in the mass media and the wider public, and considers the crucial questions of treatment and punishment. Should sexual offenders be castrated? Will Freud's couch or the behaviourists' laboratory work most effectively? Particular groups of offenders such as female abusers, psychopaths and exhibitionists are given special attention here, as are potentially dangerous environments, including the home, prison, and the military. By demystifying the category of the rapist and revealing the specificities of the past, Joanna Bourke dares to consider a future in which sexual violence has been placed outside the human experience.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 198mmItem Length: 128mmItem Width: 40mmItem Weight: 460gAuthor: Joanna BourkeGenre: HistoryTopic: Social Sciences, Society & CultureRelease Year: 2008 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
