The New York Times (March 2000): Section 8, p. 1.Notes: Available on Lexis/NexisAbstract: With a series of genetic markers as their evidence, Manhattan prosecutors announced the indictment of the man known as the East Side Rapist, even though investigators still do not know who he is. The indictment, one of the few instances in the country that a DNA signature alone has been used to charge a crime, will prevent the statute of limitations from expiring in three of the seven rapes the man is suspected of committing between 1994 and 1998.

Cuklanz, Lisa M. Rape on Trial: How the Mass Media Construct Legal Reform and Social Change. Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 1996.Call Number: P 96 .R35C85 1996Abstract: Why has so much of the public discussion of rape focused on a few specific cases, and to what extent has this discussion incorporated the feminist perspective on rape?

Gregory, Jeanne and Sue Lees. Policing Sexual Assault. New York: Routledge, 1999.Call Number: HV 8079 .R35G74 1999Abstract: Since the mid-1970's there has been a number of significant legislative changes designed to control male violence, enacted largely in response to pressure from feminist campaigners. Yet, since the early 1980's the number of rape convictions has dropped while the number of cases reported has risen. This book examines the gap between the rhetoric of these reforms and their implementation into practice, and provides a detailed account of current police practices within the context of a wider evaluation of theoretical debate in the areas of domestic and sexual violence.

Kinshasa, Kwando Mbiassi. The Man From Scottsboro: Clarence Norris and the Infamous 1931 Alabama Rape Trial, in His Own Words. Jefferson, NC: McFarland & Company, 1997.Call Number: KF 224 .S34K56 1997Abstract: In March 1931, Clarence Norris, a self-described hobo, and eight other black men were arrested in Paint Rock, Alabama, and charged with raping two white girls who were also hoboes on the train he was riding. The one-day trial of the nine men, better known as the "Scottsboro Boys," resulted in conviction and the death sentence despite the paucity of evidence. Though later pardoned, Norris spent 13 years in jail. Norris's description of his arrest, trial and sentencing is both tragic and inspirational.

Lefkowitz, Bernard. Our Guys: The Glen Ridge Rape and the Secret Life of the Perfect Suburb. New York: Vintage Books, 1997.Call Number: HV 6568 .G54L43 1998Abstract: In March 1989, a group of teenage boys lured a retarded girl into a basement in Glen Ridge, New Jersey, and gang-raped her. Glen Ridge was the kind of peaceful, affluent suburb many Americans dream about. The rapists were its most popular high school athletes. And although rumors of the crime quickly spread through the town, weeks passed before anyone saw fit to report it to the police. What made these boys capable of brutalizing a girl that some of them had known since childhood? Why did so many of their elders deny the rape and rally around its perpetrators? To solve this riddle, this Edgar Award-winning author conducted years of research and more than two hundred interviews. The result is not just a wrenching story of crime and punishment, but a hauntingly nuanced portrait of America's jock culture and the hidden world of unrestrained adolescent sexuality.

With contributors from a wide range of fields, including sociology, psychology, criminology, law, anthropology, public health, and women's studies, this interdisciplinary volume presents the leading classic and recent scholarship on the subject. Yet the book's greatest strength lies in its broad sociological exploration of its subject. It looks beyond the stereotypical idea of rape--a woman attacked by an unknown assailant in a dark alley. Topics include sexual violence against men, date rape, marital rape, the effects of pornography, and the racial-ethnic issues surrounding rape.

False assumptions and popular stereotypes help us to ignore one of society's most troubling problems--the rape of men by other men.

Stevens, Dennis. Inside the Mind of a Serial Rapist. San Francisco: Austin & Winfield, Publishers, 1999.Call Number: HV 6561 S.83 1999Abstract: Through the interviews of 61 convicted rapists, the author explores why such crimes were committed and as a result challenges the long-standing ideas or myths surrounding the crime of rape. While the author does not claim that current theories and beliefs about why rape occurs are wrong, he does strongly suggest that thought should be given to the possibility that there are more sexually-related causes to rape than some might care to acknowledge.

Swindle, Howard. Trespasses: Portrait of a Serial Rapist. New York: Viking, 1996.Call Number: HV 6248 .E72S93 1996Abstract: Gilbert Escobedo confessed to 48 rapes in Dallas between 1985 and 1990, although authorities conjecture that he may have committed twice that number. Physically attractive, compulsively neat, obsessive in every aspect of his life, Escobedo fit exactly the psychological profile used by forensic experts to identify a power rapist, whose crimes are marked by anger and sadism. In this searching analysis, the author traces the influences that may have converted his vain, selfish and manipulative subject into a victimizer who sought out only young, beautiful and often well-to-do women as his prey. He shows how Escobedo's careful modus operandi enabled him to avoid arrest even after the police were certain of his guilt.

Taslitz, Andrew E. Rape and the Culture of the Courtroom. New York: New York University Press, 1999.Call Number: KF 9329 .T37 1999Abstract: Rape law reform has been a stunning failure. Defense lawyers persist in emphasizing victims' characters over defendants' behavior. Reform's goals of increasing rape report and conviction rates have generally not been achieved. In this book, the author pinpoints the cause of rape reform failure in the language lawyers use and in the cultural stories upon which they draw to dominate rape victims in the courtroom. He argues that cultural stories about rape, such as the provocatively dressed woman "asking for it" are at the root of many unconscious prejudices that determine jury views. He demonstrates how word choice, tone, and other lawyers' linguistic tactics work to undermine the confidence and credibility of the victim.

Trumpi, Pauline. Doctors Who Rape: Malpractice and Misogyny. Rochester, VT: Schenkman Books, 1997.Call Number: HV 6561 .T79 1997Abstract: Pauline Trumpi's story of being drugged and raped by her physician, her consequent pregnancy, the ensuing farcical legal investigation resulting in the return of the physician's license, the surrender of her child to adoption, and the eventual reunion with her adult son is the foundation for this in-depth investigation into rape, its motivation, the victim's response, and the legal system's remedial recourse.

Wellman, Joy, et al. Smoldering Embers. Far Hills, NJ: New Horizon Press, 1997.Call Number: HV 6248 .L78W45 1997Abstract: Three women, formerly strangers, born in three different decades with little in common are bonded together forever by their ongoing pursuit of punishment for one of America's most ruthless serial rapist/murderers. They vow to be the voices for those who cannot speak: more than 200 women brutally attacked and 10 savagely beaten, raped and murdered. This book is not only a bone-chilling thriller, but a shattering indictment of the American criminal justice system and its treatment of the very victims it has sworn to protect. Ultimately, though, it is also the inspiring story of the power that crime victims can yield if they work together in pursuit of justice.
