confronting sexual harm ending state violence by Judith Levine and Erica R Miners.

In the era of Me Too and Mass incarceration, the feminist and the sex offender makes a powerful

feminist case for accountability without punishment, and sexual safety and pleasure without injustice.

With analytical clarity and narrative force, the feminist and the sex offender contends with two problems

that are typically siloed, sexual and gender violence on the one hand,

and the state's unjust, ineffective, and sole-destroying response to it on the other.

Drawing on interviews, extensive research, reporting, and history,

the feminist and the sex offender develops an intersectional feminist approach to ending sexual

violence.

It maps with considerable detail the unjust sex offender regime while highlighting the

alternatives we urgently need.

The feminist and the Sex Offender, confronting sexual harm, ending state violence,
