“This edition of Sex Crimes: Research and Realities is a very exciting contribution to the current body of sex offender and offending scholarship. It is written for a broad audience of undergraduate or graduate students, practitioners, and policy makers who will appreciate the contrasts between what is believed to be true about sex offending and what empirical data reveal. The addition of a discussion regarding the nuanced approach taken when investigating sex crimes and interacting with victims is one that is needed and not often found in other texts. I highly recommend this book to anyone teaching courses on sex offenders or offending, conducting research on this topic, and/or working with policy makers to examine and refine our sex offender management tools and laws.” Lisa L. Sample, PhD, University of Nebraska at Omaha, School of Criminology and Criminal Justice “In the updated second edition, Vandiver and Braithwaite provide an engaging, theoretically-anchored, and research-driven exploration of the essential questions pertaining to sexual violence. This book engages readers with both the current state of knowledge about sex crimes and the central questions that remain unanswered, and it does so with rigor and compassion.” Ryan T. Shields, PhD, University of Massachusetts Lowell, School of Criminology and Justice Studies
