Female-Perpetrated Sex Abuse is a groundbreaking study into gender,
sexuality and victimhood. It examines the cultural conditions of
possibility for FSA victimhood as a means to advance contemporary
critical understandings of the role of gender and sexuality as
instruments of modern power. As the first direct exploration of FSA
victimhood, this book analyses: why victims of FSA remain so
underexplored and invisible as objects of human science knowledge;
the limited and overly rigid discourses in local and global
psychological theory and practice that continues to treat
particular subjects as 'victim worthy' through paradigms that
construct victimhood as gendered; and the possibility of new
discourses that could disrupt normative understandings of gender,
sexuality, and power in sex abuse, and as constitutive to the
beginnings of a counter-knowledge on transgressive sexualities. By
tracing the historical and cultural conditions of the emergence of
FSA broadly and FSA victimhood specifically, Kramer illustrates how
deeply engrained constructions of gender and sexuality both produce
and constrain the possibilities for reporting, disclosing and
self-identifying victimhood. Female-Perpetrated Sex Abuse is
essential reading for academics, researchers and students alike, in
the areas of psychology, sociology, gender studies, criminology,
counselling and social work.
