Violence against Women in Pornography 1st Edition
Purchase options and add-ons
Violence against Women in Pornography illuminates the ways in which adult pornography hurts many women, both on and off screen. A growing body of social scientific knowledge shows that it is strongly associated with various types of violence against women in intimate relationships. Many women who try to leave abusive and/or patriarchal men also report that pornography plays a role in the abuse inflicted on them by their ex-partners. On top of these harms, male pornography consumption is strongly correlated with attitudes supporting violence against women. Many researchers, practitioners, and policy makers believe that adult pornography is a major problem and offer substantial evidence supporting this claim.
Violence against Women in Pornography, unlike books written mainly for scholarly and general audiences, specifically targets students enrolled in undergraduate criminology, deviance, women’s studies, masculinities studies, human sexuality, and media studies courses. Thoughtful discussion questions are placed at the end of each chapter, and appropriate PowerPoint slides and suggestions for classroom exercises will be available to aid student understanding. The main objective of this book is to motivate readers to think critically about adult pornography and to take progressive steps individually and collectively to curb the production and consumption of hurtful sexual media, including that from the "dark side of the Internet."

- Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2015The time is right for the book Violence Against Women in Pornography, and Dr. Walter DeKeseredy is just the right person to write it. In it, DeKeseredy and his co-author Marilyn Corsianos provide an uncensored view into the practices in the making of pornography that are both violent to the women who act in porn, and encourage men to be violent toward women in 'real life.' I appreciate the depth of the literature that this book integrates into concise chapters. The writing is both scholarly and accessible. The authors provide a stinging, well researched, and thoughtfully presented indictment of the pornography industry and the harms it inflicts upon our society. If more people read books like this, our world would be a better place in which to live. This great book is yet another in the line of highly impactful pieces Dr. DeKeseredy provides to generate knowledge about how to attenuate the serious problem of violence in our society. Bravo Drs. DeKeseredy & Corsianos!
