Review
?Wider-ranging than its title suggests, this collection of articles will be helpful in undergraduate courses on gender and violence and for community advocacy. Its strong chapters on sexual harassment in schools and workplaces should be useful to policy committees, as well as to those who teach the subject.?-Readings: A Journal of Reviews and Commentary in Mental Health

Not what I expected,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Psychology of Sexual Victimization: A Handbook (Hardcover)
For those considering this book, I have to admit it isn't what I expected based on the title. Definitely look at the table of contents in the "search inside this book feature" to see if it is what you're looking for before buying. I am primarily interested in research on sexual assault, which is why I purchased this book. Even the second section, sexual victimization in dating and marital relationships, focused almost exclusively on battering and physical abuse. Though I recognize that sexual and physical abuse are often defined as one and the same and when defined differently do sometimes go hand in hand, I was a little disappointed that the content focused so much on physical abuse. A little heads up for anyone who might be buying the book for similar reasons...
