Violence against Women in Pornography illuminates the ways in which
adult pornography hurts many women, both on and off screen. A
growing body of social scientific knowledge shows that it is
strongly associated with various types of violence against women in
intimate relationships. Many women who try to leave abusive and/or
patriarchal men also report that pornography plays a role in the
abuse inflicted on them by their ex-partners. On top of these
harms, male pornography consumption is strongly correlated with
attitudes supporting violence against women. Many researchers,
practitioners, and policy makers believe that adult pornography is
a major problem and offer substantial evidence supporting this
claim. Violence against Women in Pornography, unlike books written
mainly for scholarly and general audiences, specifically targets
students enrolled in undergraduate criminology, deviance, women's
studies, masculinities studies, human sexuality, and media studies
courses. Thoughtful discussion questions are placed at the end of
each chapter, and appropriate PowerPoint slides and suggestions for
classroom exercises will be available to aid student understanding.
The main objective of this book is to motivate readers to think
critically about adult pornography and to take progressive steps
individually and collectively to curb the production and
consumption of hurtful sexual media, including that from the "dark
side of the Internet."

The Complexities of Police Corruption provides a comprehensive
examination of the role of gender as it relates to police
corruption, crime control, and policing as an institution. Author
Marilyn Corsianos examines different forms of corruption, including
some behaviors that are generally not recognized as corruption by
police departments, such as selective law enforcement, racial
profiling, gender bias and other discriminatory police practices
against marginalized populations.. The book also explores the role
of police culture in preserving and defending misconduct and digs
into the thorny question of why significantly fewer women are
involved in police corruption. Throughout the book, excerpts from
interviews with 32 former police offers illustrate the complex ways
that gender construction is connected to police corruption and
shows how policing as an institution creates corruption risks. The
Complexities of Police Corruption is a challenging and insightful
book about the intersections between gender and corruption.
