Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
McLaren (history, Univ. of Victoria, British Columbia) is what might be called a historical criminologist, seeking unusual criminal cases at the turn of the last century that reveal the borders of gender and expose them for the ways they demonstrate the problematical aspects of male sexual behavior. The cases are inherently interesting, removed from the present hysteria about sexual issues. Exhibitionism, pornography, and deception all have their place here. McLaren is most engaging in presenting the cases and the issues they raise, dignifying the discussion of gender as a constructed element of social life. Recommended for all academic libraries and public libraries with an audience for academic history.?David Azzolina, Univ. of Pennsylvania Libs., Philadelphia.
