Pornography
The group of respected writers who have contributed to this volume hold two beliefs in common: a passionate opposition to censorship and a vehement conviction that, until pornography is eradicated, women's status in society can never equal men's.
Home Truths about Child Sexual Abuse
This book analyses the structural and social constructionist perspective on the origins and effects of violence, abuse and inequality to illustrate the different forms of power relations that exist and how they operate at an institutional plane.
Domestic and Sexual Violence and Abuse
"Taking a life-course approach, the book explores what is known about appropriate treatment responses to those who have experienced, and those who perpetrate, domestic and sexual violence and abuse."--Publisher's description.
Stages in the Revolution
This book, first published in 1980, is a comprehensive study of the radical theatre movement in Britain from 1968 to 1978. The essays are based on first-hand interviews, with each section being introduced with a summary of key events before detailing the artists under examination.
Pornography
This book is not a diatribe against eroticism or a moral crusade to stamp out sex. Rather, it is an attack on the international industry in pornography which, in abusing and degrading women desensitizes people to the routine discrimination and violence that its opponents claim it engenders. Including contributions by Andrea Dworkin, Corinne Sweet, and Michael Moorcock, these challenging, uncompromising, and passionate essays examine such topics as the ineffectiveness of the Obscene Publications Act, the need for legislation against pornography without censorship to enable victims of pornography-related harm to seek redress and an equivalent to the Race Relations Act to permit the prosecution of cases of incitement to sexual hatred and violence, the different types of pornographic material, and the possible links between pornography and rape, child abuse, and discrimination.
Social Theory and Aging
This book attempts to identify two central areas for the study of aging and the epistemological differences and continuities between them: constructions of aging (modern) and deconstructions of aging (postmodern).
Home Truths About Domestic Violence
While men's violence to women is an everyday culturally supported activity, this reader demonstrates: that men's violence can be curtailed and that women and children can be assisted effectively; that state policies and provision can be improved; and that women can actively participate in the resolution of their difficulties. Bringing together new work and key papers Home Truths About Domestic Violence provides a comprehensive overview and up-to-date account of the progress so far, and identifies what still needs to be done. Areas covered include: * womens experience of violence * childrens experience of violence * personal experiences of the justice system * state policies on violence in the US and UK * educational programmes and initiatives. This substantial Reader makes a significant contribution to the understanding of domestic violence from both a policy and a practice perspective. Together with its companion volume Home Truths About Child Sexual Abuse it provides an in-depth resource for a wide range of teachers, students and professionals, highlighting the diverse and complex dimensions of the problem of domestic violence.
Sexual Abuse of Children
This book considers how human rights law can help define what could and should be done to protect children from sexual maltreatment. The volume explores diverse forms of sexual maltreatment, compares societal responses to existing research and policies, uncovers basic themes, and proposes directions for future action. Roger Levesque places particular emphasis on the ways abusive activities in different countries and societies are linked with one another and the way diverse societal views of children place them at risk.
Prostitution and Pornography
