Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this important study, over sixty imprisoned serial rapists were interviewed regarding their crimes. Respondents were interviewed employing a methodology using other convicted felons as the interviewers. This is an unusual departure from typical methodologies and a successful one. Analysis proceeded simultaneously with the collection of information from the interviews and research on individual rapists and their victims, producing a fresh view of this heinous crime and its effects. A rich resource on the phenomena of serial rape in America, this timely work offers a realistic yet alarming insight into the closed world of predators. It is a tool which criminologists have long wished was available, as the scholarly interpretation of this crime is needed by criminal justice, criminology, law enforcement, legal, psychology, and sociology, professionals as well as by social science students.
