Sexual crime is a topic of massive public concern. Yet the debate
over its causes and the appropriate responses of the criminal
justice system is often fuelled by ignorance and prejudice, with
little understanding of the reality of sexual crime.
Acts of Abuse explores the response of the criminal justice system
to this important issue. Its author, Adam Sampson, examines the
existing research about the causes of rape and child abuse, the
number of offences being committed, and the policy of the courts.
He then examines in detail the responses of the probation service
and the prison system to the increased number of offenders with
which they are being required to deal.
Written by a prominent critic of the British penal system, this is
the first comprehensive survey of the phenomenon of sexual crime in
the British penal context. It will appeal to students and all those
with an interest in issues relating to crime and justice.
