This volume investigates why some men seem prone to rape, offers probable causes, and provides a comprehensive review of scientific studies of coercive sex. The authors, all experts in psychology and scientific research, present evidence from studies in developmental criminology, evolutionary psychology, psychopathology and psychophysiology, as well as situational and social factors that influence the likelihood of rape. They also discuss the practical implications of their research for assessment and treatment. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
