Book Description
Revealing the shocking and detailed accounts of how adult women stalk, sexually assault, and even rape adult men, this book portrays an eye-opening reality: women can act as aggressive predators and victimize men.
Crimes of a sexual nature perpetrated by adult females against males constitute a serious problem in our society. A woman can rape a man, and this crime occurs far more often than most imagine. This book addresses an entire range of crimes beyond rape, however; stalking, sexual harassment, and sexual assault are all covered in detail.
When Women Sexually Abuse Men: The Hidden Side of Rape, Stalking, Harassment, and Sexual Assault illuminates the long-overlooked subject of adult female against adult male sex crimes. Combining personal accounts, information on criminal cases, relevant research on adult female against adult male sexual offenses, and statistical data from the FBI and other government sources, the authors comprehensively document how some women can be aggressive sexual predators, just like their male counterparts; highlight the changes in the criminal behavior of women; and provide fascinating stories of true crime as well as shocking revelations about human behavior.
Editorial Reviews
Review
This book provides much important information that will both challenge your accepted beliefs and hopefully lead us to improve in our prevention and treatment approaches. This should be read by all those who work with adolescents as well as by their parents.–Deborah M. Capaldi PhD, Senior Scientist, Oregon Social Learning Center
“I read this book at one sitting even though there were moments when the sheer viciousness and cruelty of some case studies were hard to stomach. It is a book that can easily be read by the public but will also be a valuable document, probably the first of its kind, to forensically look at women’s role in domestic violence. While this book makes difficult reading, and at times I put it down, I felt a surge of hope when I finished it because it makes it so clear that neither men nor women are the enemy. “–Erin Pizzey, Author of
