Brantley, Alan C. and Frank M. Ochberg. "Lethal Predators and Future Dangerousness." FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin (April 2003): pp. 16-21.
Abstract: The authors consider "lethal predators" representative of a small, identifiable, and exceptionally dangerous subpopulation of lethal criminals. These offenders, almost always males, have killed at least once and are likely to keep killing as long as they are free to do so. They are deliberate, sadistic, and often highly intelligent. They tend to carry out their crimes in a ritualistic manner, to include a strong sexual component in their acts, and to rape or torture their victims. They understand their misbehavior, know the difference between right and wrong, and choose when and where to act upon their urges. They are criminally responsible for their acts and are not insane.

Burgess-Jackson, Keith [ed.] A Most Detestable Crime: New Philosophical Essays on Rape. New York: Oxford Press, 1999. Call Number: K 5197.M67 1999
Abstract: This collection of original essays by leading philosophers investigates the philosophical dimensions of rape in all its manifestations: act, crime, practice, and institution. They examine such issues as the nature of rape; the wrongfulness and harmfulness of rape; the relation of rape to racism, sexism, classism, and other forms of oppression; and the legitimacy of various rape-law doctrines (such as the corroboration requirement, the marital-rape exemption, and the reasonable-belief defense). Each contributor advances a novel argument and seeks to disentangle the conceptual, evaluative, and empirical issues that arise in connection with the crime.

Ehrlich, Susan. Representing Rape. New York: Routledge, 2001. Call Number: K 5197.E37 2001
Abstract: Ehrlich argues that language is central to all legal settings, specifically sexual harassment and acquaintance rape hearings where linguistic descriptions are often the only basis upon which juries and judges determine a verdict. In such contexts, language is not a neutral and transparent reflection of the world, but rather helps to construct the character of the people and events under investigation.

Human Rights Watch. No Escape: Male Rape in U.S. Prisons. New York: Human Rights Watch, 2001. Call Number: HV 8836.N62 2001
Abstract: With one out of every 140 people in the United States behind bars, the question of prisoner-on-prisoner sexual abuse can no longer be ignored. Male rape in prison can be vicious and brutal. Some of its victims contract HIV; all suffer psychological harm. Rape is not an inevitable consequence of prison life, but it is a predictable one if little is done to prevent and punish it. With this report, Human Rights Watch calls upon federal and state authorities to address this serious nationwide problem.

Jordan, Jan. "Will Any Woman Do?" Policing (February 2002): pp. 319-43 Abstract: Assumptions are often made that women police officers will respond more sympathetically to rape complainants than their male colleagues. In the study presented here, the results showed that overall, gender per se was not the determining factor of complainant satisfaction. Professionalism, warmth and sensitivity were the qualities most desired and these were not exclusively associated with gender. This places the onus on the police not simply to provide a woman officer - the "any woman will do" scenario - but to ensure the availability of trained and experienced women and men officers.

Abstract: The concept of designing a sexual assault examiner program with authority and direction associated with law enforcement and staffed by full-time, dedicated examiners with a clearly defined mission is the next logical step in the development field of sexual assault forensic examination. To accomplish this goal, law enforcement agencies must establish credibility within the community by assuming responsibility for the sensitive and thorough investigation of all sexual assault complaints and providing leadership concerning this area of criminal forensics.
