Yet the debate over its causes and the appropriate responses of the criminal justice system is often fuelled by ignorance and prejudice, with little understanding of the reality of sexual crime.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eActs of Abuse\u003c\/em\u003e explores the response of the criminal justice system to this important issue. Its author, Adam Sampson, examines the existing research about the causes of rape and child abuse, the number of offences being committed, and the policy of the courts. He then examines in detail the responses of the probation service and the prison system to the increased number of offenders with which they are being required to deal.\u003cbr\u003eWritten by a prominent critic of the British penal system, this is the first comprehensive survey of the phenomenon of sexual crime in the British penal context. It will appeal to students and all those with an interest in issues relating to crime and justice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adam Sampson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415073723\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415073721\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/02\/1993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 156\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.77lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.50d","brand":"Adam Sampson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064864289023,"sku":"9780415073721","price":240.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ee9e486f-6987-4821-897e-a470b721dcfd.jpg?v=1768671548","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/acts-of-abuse-adam-sampson-9780415073721","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
