The second edition of Sex Crime, Offenders, and Society seeks to provide a knowledge base for addressing these questions.

It now includes updated statistics and references to influential scholarship throughout, a new chapter exploring sex crime in post-secondary institutions, and a concluding chapter that focuses on innovative policy and reform into the future"--
Sex as Crime? by Gayle Letherby,Kate Williams,Philip Birch,Maureen E Cain Pdf
This book brings together chapters by academics, researchers and practitioners to analyse how crimes such as sex work, domestic violence and rape and sexual assault have risen up the Government agenda in recent years. For example, the 'Paying the Price' consultation exercise on sex work in 2004, and recent legislation around sex crimes, including the Sex Offences Act (2003). This is a multi-disciplinary, social scientific, pro-feminist collection, which draws upon practice, empirical research, documentary analysis and overviews of research in the areas of sex work and sexual violence. Within Sex as Crime there are two distinct sub-sections: 'Sex for Sale' and 'Sex as Violence', but the broader and overriding link of sex as crime remains a paramount theme that spans the collection. Chapters include discussions of the impact of new regulations on street sex workers, and of street sex work on community residents, the use of the internet by men who pay for sex and men who sell it, sexual violence and identity, sex crimes against children and protecting children online and working with sex offenders. Other chapters explore reasons for such offending behaviour.
The sexualized serial murder of women by men is the subject of this provocative book. Jane Caputi argues that the sensationalized murders by men such as Jack the Ripper, Son of Sam, Hillside Strangler, and the Yorkshire Ripper represent a contemporary genre of sexually political crimes. The awful deeds function as a form of patriarchal terrorism, "disappearing" women at a rate of some four thousand annually in the United States alone. Caputi asks us not only to name the phenomenon of sexually political murder, but to recognize sex crime in all of its various interconnecting manifestations.
This title discusses the representation of sex crime in the newsprint media in Northern Ireland. It formulates recommendations for positive and realistic change in the way the press report sex crime and in the way relevant agencies act as sources in the news production process.

Sex, Crime and Morality by Sharon Hayes,Belinda Carpenter,Angela Dwyer Pdf
Over the last few decades, there has been a marked increase in media and debate surrounding a specific group of offences in modern Democratic nations which bear the brunt of the label ‘crimes against morality’. Included within this group are offences related to prostitution and pornography, homosexuality and incest and child sexual abuse. This book examines the nexus between sex, crime and morality from a theoretical perspective. This is the first academic text to offer an examination and analysis of the philosophical underpinnings of sex-related crimes and social attitudes towards them and the historical, anthropological and moral reasons for differentiating these crimes in contemporary western culture. The book is divided into three sections corresponding to three theoretical frameworks: Part 1 examines the moral temporality of sex and taboo as a foundation for legislation governing sex crimes Part 2 focuses on the geography of sex and deviance, specifically notions of public morality and the public private divide Part 3 examines the moral economy of sex and harm, including the social construction of harm. Sex, Crime and Morality will be key reading for students of criminology, criminal justice, gender studies and ethics, and will also be of interest to justice professionals.
Arya Winters and the Tiramisu of Death by Amita Murray Pdf
"An edgier riff on Agatha Christie. Murray takes common tropes and pierces them with darker realities to great effect."—Oprah Daily Arya Winters is your typical cozy heroine. She lives in a cottage in a small English village, and bakes for a living - well, she specializes in macabre desserts. She has nosy neighbors, who she avoids ruthlessly due to her social anxiety. And she has a keen interest in all things sexy, especially Branwell Beam, the writer next door. When her neighbor Tobias Yards turns up dead after eating poisoned tiramisu (definitely not poisoned when she baked it), no one seems to connect it to Arya's Auntie Meera's recent death. Instead, they blame her excruciatingly average ex-boyfriend—and Tobias’s nephew—and so she takes matters into her own hands. Now all she has to do to uncover the truth is to get over her aversion to Other People. Besides that, it's just a matter of getting beyond some yellow tape, dodging her former BFF Tallulah from secondary school, and getting into Branwell's pants—he seems strangely reluctant. What Arya doesn't realize is that the murderer is dangerous, preying on lonely people who've experienced trauma, and that she might have to do all she can not to become the next victim.
Sex Fiends, Perverts, and Pedophiles by Chrysanthi S. Leon Pdf
From sex fiend laws to Jessica's Law, every state regularly passes popular tough-on-crime legislation, often written after highly-publicized cases have made the gruesome rounds through the media. Chrysanthi Leon shows that, while the singular notion of the sexual bogeyman has been used to justify these harsh policies, not all sex offenders are the same and such 'one size fits all' policies are well-intentioned but badly implemented. Leon argues for much-needed changes to the criminal justice system, ultimately showing that when policies intended for the worst offenders take over, all of us suffer.
Sex Crime in the News by Keith Soothill,Sylvia Walby Pdf
First published in 1991, Sex Crime in the News is a unique examination of the nature of sex crime reporting in the press. Analysing examples from forty years of newspaper coverage, the authors provide a systematic study of this controversial topic. The book reveals the misleading and trivializing nature of sex crime coverage, with serious research reports on rape and discussions on law reform being given short shrift. The authors examine the increasing gap between the reality of sexual abuse and the coverage it receives in the press, and they set their detailed empirical work within a context of broader concerns about the relationship between the media, the individual and the state. Critical though it is of the press, this book will be of special interest to people working in the media, and to legislators involved in debates about the press. It will also be of value to students on course in women’s studies, cultural and media studies, and deviancy.
Following the brutal 1954 murders of two children in Sioux City, Iowa, police attempted to quell public hysteria by arresting 20 men whom the authorities never claimed had anything to do with the crimes. Labelled as sexual psychopaths these gay men were sentenced to a mental institution until 'cured'. Shedding a harsh light on 1950s attitudes toward homosexuality, this carefully researched account of this horrendous event shows how the paranoia of the McCarthy era destroyed the lives of gay men and exposes a dark chapter in the history of post-war America.
Using the records of several Venetian courts that dealt with sex crimes, Ruggiero traces the evolution of both licit and illicit sexuality during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, providing insight into Venetian society and, ultimately, the Renaissance itself.
The Oxford Handbook of Gender, Sex, and Crime by Rosemary Gartner,Bill McCarthy Pdf
The editors, Rosemary Gartner and Bill McCarthy, have assembled a diverse cast of criminologists, historians, legal scholars, psychologists, and sociologists from a number of countries to discuss key concepts and debates central to the field. The Handbook includes examinations of the historical and contemporary patterns of women's and men's involvement in crime; as well as biological, psychological, and social science perspectives on gender, sex, and criminal activity. Several essays discuss the ways in which sex and gender influence legal and popular reactions to crime. An important theme throughout The Handbook is the intersection of sex and gender with ethnicity, class, age, peer groups, and community as influences on crime and justice. Individual chapters investigate both conventional topics - such as domestic abuse and sexual violence - and topics that have only recently drawn the attention of scholars - such as human trafficking, honor killing, gender violence during war, state rape, and genocide.
The Language of Sexual Crime explores the role of language in the construction of identity of both perpetrators and victims of sexual violence, the ways in which language is used in the detection of sexually-motivated crime, and the articulation/manipulation of language in police interviews, the courtroom and the media.
Drugs Sex, And Crime by Danilo Antonio Baltieri Pdf
Das Zeitalter des Web 2.0 hat die interpersonelle Kommunikation als auch die Kulturindustrie revolutioniert. Dabei stellt das Web 2.0 Marketing-Verantwortliche vor neue Herausforderungen, bietet ihnen aber auch neue Mittel und Wege ihre Kunden in einer Welt der Informationsinflation und -Überflutung von Produkt- und Markeninformationen auf neuen Wegen zu erreichen, um durch innovative und kreative Kommunikationsstrategien eine hohe Markenbekanntheit, sowie ein unverwechselbares Markenimage zu kreieren. Eine besondere Rolle spielen hierbei emanzipierte Konsumenten, die sich als aktive Gestalter des Word Wide Web (WWW) verstehen. Diese aktiven Konsumenten schreiben, bloggen, posten, bookmarken, rezensieren, bewerten, kreieren und verbreiten Informationen über sich selbst, Marken, Produkte, Ideen und Geschehnisse mit nie dagewesener Geschwindigkeit und Intensität. Dies führt zu einer demokratisierten Umschichtung der etablierten Informationsdistribution der klassischen Medien. Somit löst sich ein Teil der Gesellschaft von bestehenden Zwängen der Kulturindustrie. Die modernen Technologien, die sich nach HORKHEIMER/ADORNO in den Händen der ökonomisch Mächtigsten befinden und den " [& ] Zirkel von Manipulation und rückwirkenden Bedürfnissen [& ]" kontrollieren, werden revolutioniert und fallen zurück in die Hände einer emanzipierten und mündigen Gesellschaft. Die Konsumenten stellen dabei ihre eigens kreierten Inhalte, den User Generated Content (UGC), der gesamten WWW-Community zur Verfügung. Dies geschieht über sog. Social Web Plattformen wie Twitter, Facebook, YouTube oder Xing, um nur einige der bekanntesten Plattformen zu nennen. Somit entwickelt sich das WWW von einer Plattform des reinen Informationskonsums zu einem Mitmachweb , in dem die WWW-Nutzer die Rolle des Konsumenten ablegen und sich zum Prosumenten weiterentwickeln. Dabei klinken sich die Nutzer in die Wertschöpfungskette des WWW ein, kreieren eigene Inhalte und reichern bestehende Inhalte an. Somit entwickelt sich das Social Web zu einem neuen Kontaktpunkt zwischen Unternehmen und Konsumenten. Dieser Kontaktpunkt wird immer häufiger in den Kommunikations-Mix aufgenommen. Ziel ist es, häufig die eigenen Zielgruppen gezielt anzusprechen, um einen Dialog zu fördern und eine Beziehung mit den Konsumenten zu forcieren. Diese neue Wahrnehmung des Kunden als Partner in einer Beziehung auf Augenhöhe wird von VARGO/LUSCH als New Dominant Logic of Marketing verstanden.
