<p> An example of how interviewing and life course methods can be done in ways that yield an empirically rich analysis useful for theoretical development. . . . A nicely written book using excellent methodology.
An example of how interviewing and life course methods can be done in ways that yield an empirically rich analysis useful for theoretical development... A nicely written book using excellent methodology. --Contemporary Sociology A superb book that takes us into the subjective world of the child molester. It breaks new ground and provides a major contribution to sex research. Vital reading for all those interested in the interpretations of the men who commit unspeakable acts. --Martin S. Weinberg, Indiana University at Bloomington Victims, survivors, and their supporters most want to know how and why people can sexually assault and terrorize children who love and trust them. Finally, after reading Doug Pryor's Unspeakable Acts, I feel a have a vivid and reliable answer to that question. This book is must reading for every student of child sexual abuse. --Hal Pepinsky, Indiana University at Bloomington
