Elliott, Michele ed, Female Sexual Abuse of Children. The
subject of female sexual abuse has been a dark, unexplored corner
of our field. Like most adhorent aspects of human behavior, it is
easier and more emotionally congruent to deny, ignore, or
discredit that which we cannot accept or will not acknowledge.
Historical reactions to the discovery (and rediscovery) of incest
- from Freud to the False Memory Syndrome Foundation - are
poignant tributes to the enduring strength of our collective
resistance. There is no room in this, of all fields, for secrecy
or denial about any aspect of child abuse. There is no room for
cowardice, political ideology, or the focus of our attention and
resources on one area to the total exclusion of others. This is a
bold book and a valuable resource for our time. Guilford, 1994

Gold, Jodi and Susan Villari, ed, Just
Sex: Students rewrite the rules on sex, violence, activism,
and equality. Armed with three decades of feminism, men and
women are coming to college with different ideas and expectations
about sexual freedom and violence than did their parents. Since
the early 1980s, a student movement has emerged from the belief
that sexual violence is neither inherest not inevitable. This book
chronicles the movement to end all forms of sexual violence and to
mold a new sexual paradigm where explicitly consensual sex and
sexual autonomy are the norm. Based on ten years of collaborative
research and national organizing, the authors have compiled the
writings of leading student activists and yojng scholars
wrestlying with complex issues of power inequities, free speech
and societal constructions of gender and sexuality in accesssible
and mainstream dialogues. This is the first-ever gathering of
primary documents including university policies, personal
testimonies, positon papers, and scholarly essays -- offers a
glimpse of the "working papers" of a student movement that has
altered the sexual landscape of our campuses and communities
forever. This volume will be invaluable to student activitists,
administrators, and anyone interested in ending violence on and
off campus. Rowman & Littlefield, www.rowmanlittlefield.com

Nadeua, Barbie Latza, Angel Face: The
true story of student killer Amanda Knox. Despite all the
airtime devoted to Amanda Knox, it's still hard to reconcile the
fresh-faced honor student from Seattle with the sexually rapacious
killer convicted of the November 2007 murder of her British
roommate. Few Americans have heard all the powerful evidence that
convinced a jury that Knox was one of three people to sexually
assault Meredith Kercher, brutalize her body, and cut her throat.
In Angel Face, Rome-based Daily Beast senior writer
Barbie Latza Nadeau- who cultivated personal relationships with
the key figures in both the prosecution and the defense -
describes how the Know family's heavy-handed efforts to control
media coverage distorted the facts, inflamed an American audience,
and painted an offensive, inaccurate picture of Italy's justice
system. An eye-opener for any parent considering sending a child
away to study. This book reveals what really went on in this
incomprehensible. crime. Beast Books, www.thedailybeast.com, 2010,

O'Shea, Tracy & Jane LaLonde,
Sexual Harassment: A practical guide to the
law, your rights and your options for taking action. While
sexual harassment is increasingly in the headlines, it remains a
confusing, isolating ordeal for the individuals whose lives it
affects. In addition to the feelings of powerlessness, anger, and
fear it often instills, a woman (or man) who is being sexually
harassed is faced with a maze of professional, legal, and personal
decisions. This book, written by two women who conducted intensive
research in order to find their way through the maze, offers a
lifeline of information and a safety net of support. With a
balanced point of view and generous checklists, examples, and
personal narratives, the book covers: Legal and
practical definitions of what sexual harassment is - and is not.
Whether and how to file a formal complaint. Whether to hire a
lawyer, and what to expect from the legal process. What
retaliation is and how to fight it. How to deal with the emotional
stress, invasion of privacy and career changes that often result
from being sexually harassed. This indispensable book sheds light
on a difficult and little-understood problem. (While primarily
directed to women, it does provide some current information on
sexual harassment for men - Ed.) St. Martin's Griffin, 1998

Peggy Reeves, Fraternity Gang Rape: Sex, brotherhood
& privilege on campus. The author tells us explicitly
about sexual practices on our university campuses. Her
meticulously documented and dispassionately presented evidence
shows how gang rape occurs with regularity in fraternities, in
athletic dorms, and in other exclusively male enclaves. Beginning
with one incident at one fraternity when, after a party, one woman
had sex with five or six fraternity brothers, the book explores
what happened through interviews with the victim, the
participants, onlookers and universtiy administrators. The author
reconstructs the daily life in the fraternity, showing the role
played by pornography, male bonding, degrading jokes, and ritual
dances, in shaping the fraternity's attitude toward women and
towards sexuality. Two fraternity brothers were willing to share
details of the humiliating initiation rituals they were compelled
to undergo, and they are presented here. She also discusses
incidents on other campuses, at other fraternities. How
unbelievable it might seem, one cannot deny or ignore the struggle
by college-aged men and women to define their sexuality in the
terms society offers them. Taught to deny the feminine and embrace
sexual power, as this view suggests, men can see it as their
natural rght to degrade and to assault women. And women, through
their own lack of self-esteem or sense of power, may seek social
status by attaching themselvse to men in power, in this case, the
fraternity brothers. It is a complex issue and one that the author
explores with insight, sensitivity and clarity. New York

Scarce, Michael, Male on Male
Rape: The hidden toll of stigma and shame. Men can't be
raped...or can they? False assumptions and popular
stereotypes help us to ignore one of society's most troubling
problems - the rape of men by other men, outside of prison. (In
prison, over 25,000 men are raped daily.) A subject rarely
discussed, let alone explored beyond tasteless jokes, same-sex
sexual violence can burden survivors with an overwhelming sense of
misery and confusion. This book examines a form of violence that,
despite worldwide prevalence, remains vastly underreported and
unrecognized, the author, a coordinator of a rape education and
prevention program and a survivor of adult male rape, investigates
the substantial effects of male-on-male sexual violence on
individuals and society, dispelling popular myths and questioning
why most communities cannot or will not confront the problem of
same-sex sexual violence. This book is the culmination of years of
research that includes numerous interviews with straight and gay
male rap survivors, an analysis of pupular media, case studies and
the author's own personal and professional experience. The belief
that men are not raped, or raped only behind prison walls,
perpetuates the cruel stigma attached to male rape. Men who are
sexually assaulted tend not to report their victimization, seek
medical attention, or get counseling. While rape is undoubtedly a
crime of violence, male survivors are often shamed by the taboo of
same-sex sexual contact, contributing to a sense of isolation and
despair.This wook shatters the silence while offering concrete
initiatives and strategies for addressing the rape of men by men.
It is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the
prevention of rape or the healing of rape's devastating effects.

Thornhill, Randy & Craig Palmer,
Rape: A natural history of biological bases of sexual
coercion. In this sure-to-be-controversial book, the authors
use evolutionary biology to explain the causes of rape and to
recommend new approaches to its prevention. Evolved adaptation of
some sort gives rise to rape; the main evolutionary question is
whether rape is an adaptation itself or a by-product of other
adaptations. Regardless of the answer, they note, rape circumvents
a central feature of women's reproductive strategy: mate choice.
This is a primary reason why rape is devastating to its victims,
especially young women. The authors address, and claim to demolish
scientifically, many myths about rape bred by social science
theory over the past 25 years. The popular contention that rapists
are not motivated by sexual desire is, they argue, scientifically
inaccurate. Although they argue that rape is biological, they do
not view it as inevitable. Their recommendations for rape
prevention include teaching young males not to rape, punishing
rape more severely, and studying the effectiveness of "chemical
castration." They also recommend that young women
consider the biological causes of rape when making decisions about
dress, appearance, and social activities. Rape could cease to
exist, they argue, only in a society knowledgable about its
evolutionary causes. The book includes a useful summary of
evolutionary theory and a comparison of evolutionary biology's and
social science's explanations of human behavior. The authors argue
for the greater explanatory power and practical usefullness of
evolutionary biology. The book is sure to stir up discussion both
on the specific topic of rape and on the larger issue of how we
understand and influence human behavior. The MIT Press, 2000,
