“…It is also widely believed that this growth was stimulated by the formal recognition of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) as a diagnostic entity in the DSM-I11 (American Psychiatric Association, 1980). While a number of bibliographies have been published on the trauma-related areas of combat (Fairbank et al 1981;Kol-man, 1989;Silver, 1982), rape (Pawliski, 1983), and child sexual abuse (Child Sexual Abuse, 1983), no systematic attempt has been reported that formally assesses the growth in trauma literature, nor have there been any objective and descriptive studies on the thematic trends which have been part of the historical evolution of trauma as an area of systematic inquiry. Such work would be valuable for several reasons.…”

Although forcible rape and other sexual crimes have been neglected by criminologists until relatively recently, the last decade or so has witnessed a good deal of theoretical and/or research work on these matters. The lines of activity pursued by investigators have been quite varied, but samples of these different interests are included in this review. One major direction has involved macro-level studies of rape rates, both cross-culturally and within the United States. One well-known macro-level theory holds that forcible rape is a means employed by males to maintain sexual inequality, whereas other arguments represent theories of sexual access. Several macro-level research investigations are reviewed, the findings of which appear to be mixed or equivocal. Research focused on individual offenders, such as probing inside the heads of rapists, has also been conducted. Research has been directed at criminal justice system processing of accused rapists, rape law reform, and the impact of the rape experience upon victims. This review also argues that sexual diversity is marked in American society and that more research is called for which identifies the varieties of sexual conduct. Additionally, although some progress has been made in recent years in the direction of a detailed and sophisticated body of theory regarding sexual socialization, more effort needs to be expended upon the articulation of basic theory. Finally, marked progress toward a full understanding of forcible rape may depend upon the accomplishment of this theoretical task.
