FORMATHardcover CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description

Sexual consent as straightforward, easy, and simple to obtain has become a hallmark of social activism and socially conscious conversation around rape and sexual assault; however, sexual consent often isn't straightforward and simple. Otherwise, we wouldn't need to be having so many long and complicated conversations about it. There are flagrant sexual consent violations that happen all the time, but society and the law are most likely to ignore them. Violated: Sexual Consent and Assault in the 21st Century zeroes in on three main issues that desperately need correcting in our cultural conversations about consent. The first of these is the vision that society and the law have about the meaning of sexual "consent" for men and women, such that women's bodies are regarded as sexually fragile and their sexual consent as precious, while men's bodies are regarded as sexually utilitarian and their consent as irrelevant. The second is our social and legal failure to recognize that some types of sexual assault are worse than others, or to understand that the intentions of the violator matter. Third is the problematic way that activists have ended up eschewing the law and the criminal justice system and use a social version of "self-help" to reform; yet there are many specific legal reforms pertaining to consent and sexual assault that are desirable and necessary for social, cultural, and ethical reasons.Broken into two parts, Violatedexplains and identifies the social problems that underlie issues of consent and sexual violation, and how they have emerged over time; it then proposes specific social, cultural, and legal reforms to help reduce consent violation. These proposed changes include everything from improving formal sexual education to banning single-sex fraternity houses to clarifying the legal perspective about the mens rea (mental states) required of perpetrators (and survivors) in cases of sexual assault.

Review

Violated is an insightful investigation into the nuances of sexual consent. The authors draw from scientific data and popular media to effectively argue against a consent-assault dichotomy. Instead, they promote a spectrum of "consent hygiene" as their fresh take on how society might move forward to address sexual violations.--Malachi Willis, University of GlasgowIn Violated, Fennell, a researcher who studies gender, sexuality, and demography, and Green, a practicing attorney who specializes in issues of consent, address the issues of sexual consent and sexual assault from a nontraditional perspective. They consider these issues from the broader context of alternate sexual lifestyles and varying degrees of consent and degree of force. They lay out a complex paradigm for the study and treatment of cases of sexual assault with recommendations for revising the laws regulating sexual assault. The authors are well qualified to address these issues. Additionally, their study is adequately indexed and well referenced with a lengthy bibliography. The text is easy to read and the various positions are clearly laid out. Libraries serving psychology, social work, sociology, and women's studies departments should consider acquiring this volume. Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through faculty; professionals.-- "Choice Reviews"Those new to this topic will find Violated readable, relatable, and gripping. Those who already know a thing or two will find a refreshingly subtle perspective, one that expertly applies a wide range of empirical research to contemporary, messy conversations about gender, sexuality, and consent. Violated has a definite point of view but it never condescends; readers are instead invited to rethink their assumptions alongside the authors. Reading Violated feels like having a frank conversation among smart and trusted friends about one of the most important issues of our time.--Lara Stemple, UCLA
