Description and Table of Contents
Description
A comprehensive and up-to-date synthesis of what is currently known about the causes of rape. Professor Ellis summarizes three theories - feminist theory, social learning theory, and evolutionary (or socio-biological theory) - and provides evidence both for and against specific hypotheses resulting from each. Building upon this foundation, the book creates a new theory drawing on the strengths of the three examined.
