Strangers in Our Midst explores the popularization of the notion of sexual deviancy as a way of understanding sexual behaviour, the emergence in Canada of legislation directed at sex offenders, and the evolution of treatment programs in Ontario.Popular discourses regarding sexual deviancy, legislative action against sex criminals, and the implementation of treatment programs for sex offenders have been widely attributed to a reactionary, conservative moral panic over changing sex and gender roles after the Second World War. Elise Chenier challenges this assumption, arguing that, in Canada, advocates of sex-offender treatment were actually liberal progressives. Drawing on previously unexamined sources, including medical reports, government commissions, prison files, and interviews with key figures, Strangers in Our Midst offers an original critical analysis of the rise of sexological thinking in Canada, and shows how what was conceived as a humane alternative to traditional punishment could be put into practice in inhumane ways. 410 0$aStudies in gender and history ;$v32. 606 $aSex crimes$zOntario$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aParaphilias$zOntario$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aSex offenders$zOntario$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aParaphilias$xTreatment$zOntario$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aSex and law 606 $aSex 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSex crimes$xHistory 615 0$aParaphilias$xHistory 615 0$aSex offenders$xHistory 615 0$aParaphilias$xTreatment$xHistory 615 0$aSex and law. 615 0$aSex. 676 $a364.15/30971309045 700 $aChenier$b Elise Rose$f1967-$0960493 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456791503321 996 $aStrangers in our midst$92177394 997 $aUNINA
