Sexual Violence: Policies, Practices, and Challenges in the United States and Canada

Exploring this issue, the authors present multidisciplinary perspectives on the effectiveness of rape law reforms, debates on chemical castration, the policing of sexual violence, cyber rape, the role of sexual assault treatment programs, sexual assault among prisoners, the measurement of rape, Megan's Law and crime control, and sex offender registration.
