| Summary |
This book challenges the self-evidence and complacency of the idea of "sex crime" as it is reported in the print media. Confronting media-infomed popular understandings of sex crime with sophisticated theoretical approaches to questions of sex and gender, the contributors invite readers to rethink the relationship between sex and violent crime. In the process they open up the idea of sexed crime to new interpretive possibilities |
