| Publisher Description: Rape in America covers topics such as major law enforcement, the judicial system, and correctional system trends in dealing with both the rapist and the victim. Also included is an analysis of the types and motivations of rapists, a psychological profile of rapists, and a statistical profile of rape victims. For easy reference, this volume features detailed listings of print and nonprint resources and an extensive directory of organizations that have a significant impact nationally or regionally in the movement to stop and prevent sexual violence. This work is an invaluable source of information for students, researchers, and journalists, as well as rape crisis counselors, administrators of women's shelters, and law enforcement officials. |
