Abstract

Sanchez discusses Randy Thornhill and Craig T. Palmer's "A Natural History of Rape: Biological Bases of Sexual Coercion." She contemplates the policy implications and dangers invoked by the book's reinvention of nineteenth-century biological positivism, and asks what kinds of incentives encourage the production of this kind of scholarship.
