Sexual Coercion in Dating Relationships represents the next
generation of research in the area of sexual coercion. This
collection of critical analyses of current research and possible
directions for future research benefits all researchers,
counselors, and educators who need to thoroughly understand
research efforts in this field. The clear analyses allow readers to
evaluate critical issues and progress in the field to date.Outside
of research and feminist communities, sexual coercion is frequently
minimized and too often stereotyped. The words "sexual coercion"
(synonyms with "sexual aggression" and "sexual assault") conjure in
the minds of many the image of a deranged man attacking a woman
stranger in a dark place where she should know better than to be
walking alone. This and other stereotypes are challenged by the
authors of Sexual Coercion in the Dating Relationship.The chapters
examine other important issues that have yet received little
research attention. For example, one author tests the empirical
assumptions inherent in a prominent theory about the causes of
sexual coercion. Some of the authors challenge the assumption that
only women are pressured or forced to engage in unwanted or
nonconsensual sex. Other authors address issues related to the
prevention of sexual coercion of women and challenge current
conceptions of women's sexuality. Still others identify
methodological problems related to research on sexual coercion,
such as current methods of identifying attitudes supportive of the
use of sexual coercion. All of the chapters challenge current
beliefs related to the issue of sexual coercion and are designed to
spur researchers and educators forward into new ground.With the
publication of this book, readers are forced to re-think their
assumptions on sexual coercion with the new statistics and research
on these topics: evaluates of a prominent theory of the causes of
sexual coercion (the traditional script) examines men's and women's
use of sexual influence in their dating relationships, the types of
behavior men and women use to influence their partners to engage in
unwanted sex, and the associated consequences for the individuals

investigations and the political ramifications of many
investigations in this areaBecause this book presents information
related to the prevention and experience of sexual coercion, Sexual
Coercion in Dating Relationships is helpful in developing long-term
