Sexual Exploitation: Rape, Child Sexual Abuse, and Workplace Harassment (SAGE Library of Social Research) [Paperback]

Diana E.H. Russell (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 1, 1984 | Series: SAGE Library of Social Research (Book 155)

Diana Russell analyses and compares the prevalence and causes of three forms of sexual exploitation -- rape, child sexual abuse, and sexual harassment in the workplace. Although public awareness of sexual and non-sexual abuse of adults and children has grown steadily over the past few years, the three categories have been analysed and treated as separate issues. Diana Russell uses an original analytical framework to integrate extensive literature on these topics, revealing numerous links between issues that are often considered separate and distinct.
