Horowitz also illustrates the failure of criminal justice responses to social problems. Sharing detailed narratives from the experiences of those on registries and their loved ones, Horowitz reveals the social impact and cycle of violence that results from dehumanizing and banishing those who have already been held accountable. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eFrom Rage to Reason\u003c\/i\u003e offers a new perspective on how and why false claims about sex offenses became so pervasive and how these myths fostered ineffective policies that have little to do with the reality of most sexual abuse. It argues that to truly prevent sexual abuse, we must unearth the sources of these misunderstandings, debunk these claims in a systematic way, and have frank and genuine discussions about the limits of legal responses to complex social problems.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEmily Horowitz\u003c\/b\u003e, PhD, is professor of sociology and criminal justice at St. Francis College in Brooklyn, NY.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 224\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 30, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47439322349746,"sku":"9781440879395","price":122.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/ca094a00edade5c4804c9a62f0c2a3ef.webp?v=1778669815","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/from-rage-to-reason-why-we-need-sex-crime-laws-based-on-facts-not-fear-hardcover","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
