| Description | This book is a study of the lives of fourteen men who raped women unknown to them. The author documents, compares, and contrasts their experiences from boyhood to adulthood and eventual incarceration. She argues that stranger-rapists do not fit existing portrayals of them as predatory monsters or misogynist everymen. Instead she positions stranger-rape as a matter of experiences of pain and powerlessness rather than of male power and control. The author recognizes rapists and rape in their particularity and complexity in the hope that critical thinking about their lives and about their experiences in penal contexts and programs may eventually lead to what one respondent called his ‘road to redemption.’ |
