The relationship of scientific research on human sexuality
(sexology) to society's legal, judicial, and law enforcement
systems (forensics) is the focus of this encyclopaedic volume.
Editors James J. Krivacska and John Money have assembled
contributions by leading experts, covering a wide range of legal
and medical issues pertaining to the interconnection between law
and sexual behaviour. Section one examines the nature of paraphilic
behaviour and the social framework within which some of it becomes
illegal. The topics discussed include sodomy, paedophilia, incest,
sexual abuse, rape, exhibitionism, prostitution, and sexual
harassment. Section two looks at current strategies for assessing
the problems of sex offenders and victims. Among the areas
addressed are 'real' sexual abuse vs. 'manufactured' allegations of
abuse memories, allegations of satanism and ritual sexual abuse,
and the difficulties of treating sex offenders within a legal
framework. The final section argues that sexology has much to
contribute to the debate of the appropriate role of government in
regulating the private sexual behaviour of the citizenry. Sex
education, contraception, abortion, AIDS, pornography, social
tolerance vs. criminalisation, and a comparative view of public sex
policy in China and Russia are among the subjects reviewed.
