Using historical and current examples from film, television, literature, advertisements, and music, this book reveals the ways that rape and abuse are typically presented—and misrepresented—and evaluates the impact of these depictions on consumers.

individual issues related to domestic abuse and sexual assault and
the perceptions of these issues through the eyes of pop
culture.
