Sex, Sexuality, Law, and (In)justice cover

Sex, Sexuality, Law, and (In)Justice covers a wide range of legal issues associated with sexuality, gender, reproduction, and identity. These are critical and sensitive issues that law enforcement and other criminal justice professionals need to understand. The book synthesizes the literature across a wide breadth of perspectives, exposing students to law, psychology, criminal justice, sociology, philosophy, history, and, where relevant, biology, to critically examine the social control of sex, gender, and sexuality across history. Specific federal and state case law and statutes are integrated throughout the book, but the text moves beyond the intersection between law and sexuality to focus just as much on social science as it does on law. This book will be useful in teaching courses in a range of disciplines—especially criminology and criminal justice, history, political science, sociology, women and gender studies, and law.

'Sex, Sexuality, Law, and (In)Justice is necessarily interdisciplinary and would be useful in a variety of academic contexts, from Pre-Law and Political Science to Social Work and Counseling, and of course to any study of sex, sexuality, and gender in social and socio-historical context This is a volume that will benefit both students and researchers, and no doubt will serve to open the eyes of many graduate-program-bound students to possibilities for academic research—especially research in the service of social justice—that they had not considered, much less known was possible.'
