by Erin L. Kelley (Author)

This book engages legal and literary texts in order to examine acquaintance crimes, such as rape, sexual harassment, stalking, and domestic abuse, and to challenge how the victim's physical or psychological 'freeze response' is commonly and inaccurately mistaken for her consent.
