Customer Reviews

Very informative

A great introduction to the topic, yet very detailed and solidly founded in emperical research. The potential to be a classic. Ever been at a loss for words as to why men commit sexual crimes when giving therapy to victims of sexual assault? A must read for those working with offenders and victims of sexual assault alike.
