This book sheds light on the phenomenon and construction of rape and other forms of sexual violence within the Nordic region, exploring the ways in which rape and sexual violence are dealt with through criminal law and considering governmental policies aimed at combatting it, with a special focus on legal regulations and developments. Thematically organised, it offers new research on perpetrators, victimhood, criminal justice and prevention. Multi-disciplinary in approach, it brings together the latest work from a range of scholars to offer insights into the situation in the five Nordic countries, asking how and why rape and other forms of sexual violence occur, whilst also addressing the timely issues of online sexual cultures, BDSM and the grey areas of sexual offences. As such, it will appeal to scholars of sociology, criminology and law with interests in gender and sexual violence"--Provided by publisher.Routledge research in gender and society.RapeScandinaviaSex crimesScandinaviaSociologygender studiescriminologyRapeSex crimes364.15320948Bruvik Heinskou Marieedt1355986Heinskou Marie BruvikSkilbrei May-LenStefansen Kari1971-OCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK9910346054803321Rape in the Nordic countries3360204UNINA
