Whether the issue is sexual predators, abortion, same-sex marriage,
sexual harassment, or internet pornography, stories relating to
sexual matters regularly make headlines in the news and provoke
strong emotions. But until now, researchers looking for policy
information on these issues have been limited to reading books that
often express particular points of view, or to searching
multi-volume professional legal resources. Encyclopedia of Sexual
Behavior and the Law is a single comprehensive volume, written
specifically for the non-lawyer, that addresses sexual policy in
the United States, as shaped by federal laws, state laws, and court
cases. This unique new resource provides balanced, reliable
treatment to some of the most important, highly publicized topics
in society today. In approximately 150 encyclopedic entries,
Encyclopedia of Sexual Behavior and the Law addresses: Broad policy
areas, including entertainment industry regulations, laws for
teenagers, as both victims and perpetrators, and the legal aspects
of marriage Significant laws, including the Child Online Protection
Act, Megan's law, and rape shield laws Medical and health policies
and issues, including DNA evidence, stem-cell research, and genetic
information The role of government agencies and institutions,
including the Food and Drug Administration and the FBI's Crimes
against Children unit Encyclopedia of Sexual Behavior and the Law
also covers significant court cases, private organizations and
institutions, significant people, and many more relevant subjects.
This new volume will serve as a useful guide to this complicated
subject for researchers in university, community college, high
school, and public libraries.
