Description
Sex offending is a multifaceted and pervasive phenomenon with far-reaching implications for victims, society, and the global community. This book examines the global and comparative perspectives on sex offending, particularly with regard to cultural variations and plurality of legal outlooks that pose a challenge to global action. It offers a comprehensive exploration of the causes, prevalence, consequences, and the differential responses to sex offending across the world.
With contributions from leading experts in psychology, law, sociology, and criminology, this multidisciplinary edited volume encompasses such disciplines as criminology, gender studies, law, psychology, cultural studies, and sociology. It is a compelling and timely resource for policymakers, practitioners, students, researchers, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the complex dynamics of global sex offending. Global Perspectives on Sex Offending serves as a beacon of hope in the fight against this silent epidemic, urging us to shine a light into the shadows and stand in solidarity with survivors around the world.
