Vital reading for all those interested in the interpretations of the men who commit unspeakable acts." -- Martin S. Weinberg,Indiana University at Bloomington
"Victims, survivors, and their supporters most want to know how and why people can sexually assault and terrorize children who love and trust them. Finally, after reading Doug Pryor's Unspeakable Acts, I feel a have a vivid and reliable answer to that question. This book is must reading for every student of child sexual abuse." -- Hal Pepinsky,Indiana University at Bloomington
"An example of how interviewing and life course methods can be done in ways that yield an empirically rich analysis useful for theoretical development. . . . A nicely written book using excellent methodology." * Contemporary Sociology *
