This text reviews the major advances that have taken place since 1980 in the management of human sexual aggression. This work is intended to reflect what is known and what is not known about the most effective management practices and strategies for sexual offenders. It includes complete discussions of classification, assessment, and prediction. In addition, major controversies in the field are addressed with the goal of separating supposition from fact and myth from reality. By employing an empirical litmus test throughout, the authors are able to identify what is known; what are sound, yet empirically based, hunches; what is speculation; and what lies strictly in the realm of mythology. Written by a forensic psychologist and a forensic nurse, the book offers a unique dual perspective. With over 1400 references, this represents a source of every facet of the management and disposition of known sex offenders.

Following on the heels of the critically-acclaimed true crime account, A Killer By Design (soon to be released as an original docuseries called Mastermind on Hulu), a groundbreaking look into the crucial role played by expert witnesses in the most high-profile criminal cases, from the Menendez brothers to Larry Nasser to Bill Cosby, based on Dr. Ann Burgess' personal experiences within the criminal justice systemFor decades, when criminal cases of the most unprecedented nature went to trial, one woman took the stand to separate truth from fiction. Expert Witness: The Weight of Our Testimony When Justice Hangs in the Balance is the extraordinary story of forensic and psychiatric pioneer Dr. Ann Burgess-inspiration for Hulu's forthcoming docuseries Mastermind-and how she revolutionized what it means to be an expert witness in the American court system.Written through Burgess' singular lens of compassion and lived experience, Expert Witness pulls back the curtain on some of the biggest cases in the last thirty years-from Bill Cosby to the Menendez brothers to Larry Nassar-to reveal the deeply human stories behind the trials that captivated a nation. The book explores the role of expert witnesses in high stakes court cases, offering first-hand accounts and never-before-seen interviews with attorneys, victims, and offenders. Unlike any book before it, Expert Witness places readers inside the mind of the nation's most prominent courtroom expert, following Burgess as she takes on one seismic case after the next and shows how powerful courtroom testimony can be.Throughout the narrative, each case deepens the reader's understanding of the art and science of expert testimony. And while the cases on their own are fascinating, it's the never before told stories of the individuals at the heart of such groundbreaking cases that gives Expert Witness its powerful sense of urgency, relevance, and framework of understanding, taking readers from the women's movement of the 1970s to the #MeToo movement of today-one of the largest social reckonings in recent history.At its core, Expert Witness is a story of empowerment. It's a story of compassion and the ever-increasing need for individuals to stand up and speak truth to power or to popular opinion. And it's ultimately a story of how revolutionary one voice can be.

The latest sixth edition of Practical Aspects of Rape Investigation is a fully updated, comprehensive volume on investigative procedures and victim-oriented case management for professionals assisting victims of rape and sexual assault.Rape and sexual assault cases have a devastating societal impact, particularly among the vulnerable populations most affected, including women, children, the elderly, minorities, and members of the LGBTQ+ communities. Such cases are all too common and, unfortunately, the number of cases continues to rise. As such, the need for a current reference on the topic has never been more pressing.Edited by Ann Wolbert Burgess—the subject of Hulu’s 2024 documentary series Mastermind: To Think Like a Killer, and an internationally recognized researcher and pioneer in the assessment and treatment of victims of trauma and abuse—this book covers various topics contributed to by experts from a broad range of fields. Leading academics, researchers, and investigative professionals address the problem of rape and sexual assault holistically, focusing on the core principles of real-world investigative techniques, behavioral profiling, investigative strategies and techniques, social worker involvement, and victimology.When a rape case goes undetected or unreported, a violent offender remains on the streets with the opportunity to reoffend—often repeatedly. Because victims are frequently reluctant to speak out or act in such cases, this book aims to raise awareness and, ultimately, decrease the number of silent victims and improve rape-investigative capabilities and outcomes.Practical Aspects of Rape Investigation, Sixth Edition provides the essential tools and techniques for professionals to best serve, and advocate for, victims. It continues to serve as an invaluable reference for students, legal professionals, and case managers, and as a blueprint for investigators and law enforcement professionals on case management best practices.
