About “Rape”

The book examines the motivations behind perpetrators of sexual violence, arguing that "rapists are not born; they become," and emphasizes the need to understand rapists within their political and cultural contexts. Drawing on criminology, sociology, and psychology, the work focuses on the perpetrator rather than the victim, asserting that reform is possible only after the rapist is humanized.
