Industry Reviews

?The overall book is valuable for those working in this field and provides a good introduction to what we know at this time.?  (The Howard Journal of Criminal Justice, 1 July 2012)

"This is a landmark book on the explanation, assessment and treatment of female sex offenders, edited by two of the sexual offending fields emerging stars. Drs Theresa Gannon and Franca Cortoni have gathered together many of the best researchers into female sexual offending and the various chapters analyse in depth the key issues confronting practitioners and researchers alike. In my view this is a landmark volume that will set the research and practice agenda for years to come. It is a first class piece of work." (Quote.com, 9 November 2010)

?Professor Tony Ward, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand

?The research and treatment literature regarding sexual offending has long focused on the misdeeds of men. However, as the scientific and popular focus on sexual offending has increased, so too has the realization that we have underestimated the extent of (and, accordingly, failed to appreciate the effects of) sexually inappropriate behaviour in women. In Female Sexual Offenders: Theory, Assessment and Treatment, Drs Theresa Gannon and Franca Cortoni present a collection of chapters by clinicians and researchers knowledgeable about sexual violence in women. This unique and timely volume quite nicely combines theoretical perspectives with suggestions for effective interventions, as well as some thoughts regarding future directions?all geared specifically to women. A long time coming?this book was well worth the wait.?
?Dr Robin J. Wilson, Clinical Director, Florida Civil Commitment Center, US
