For those seeking to understand the complexities involved in responding to sexual violence (especially by adults), Prentky and Burgess's thoughtful analyses and impressive command of the empirical literature provide a much needed resource. Their interdiscioplinary approach has the advantage not only of reaching a wide audience but, more importantly, of reinforcing the need to take seriously the contributions of different research fields and the importance of a more multisystemic response to violence. I can only hope that this text will serve as a model for future efforts.
