Pages : 244
Book Description
Examines the development of statutory rape laws in the United States. The first book-length study of American statutory rape laws, Jailbait investigates the double-edged nature of legislation aimed at both protecting and punishing adolescent sexuality. Carolyn Cocca explores how, throughout the history of the United States, the regulation of sexual behavior was seized upon as a means to alleviate larger problems, be they moral, social, political, or economic. Feminists, religious conservatives, and legislators, each with their own agendas, have at times both conflicted and cooperated over legislation, leading to uneasy compromises that play out in the ways in which the laws are implemented today. Using both detailed case studies and quantitative analysis, Jailbait examines important changes made to statutory rape laws since the 1970s, including prosecutions under the laws. Among the more surprising findings is that changes to statutory rape laws were sometimes made in opposition to prevailing public opinion, contrary to previous studies that have asserted morality policy is especially responsive to public opinion.

Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
"Getting Lucky" a song by Tro Gunnison Wouldn't care if I could. I'm up to no good. Taking what I want instead of what I should. I'm made of pure greed. There's shit that I need. The mask is off and the demon's freed. I'm gonna get drunk. I'm gonna get played. I'm gonna get rich. I'm gonna get laid. And I'm gonna get Lucky. Raised in the system, Shiloh Luck's first sixteen years have been anything but lucky. After winning The Voice, she's finally living the dream-a record contract, talk shows, a US tour opening for the hottest band out there. Everything is going according to plan...until their frontman, Tro Gunnison, explodes her life into chaos. He's shallow, self-centered, and completely infuriating, and he'll do anything for notoriety. Including her. Like it or not, she's stuck with him for two months on the road, but the longer they spend together, the more she begins to realize there's more to Tro than anyone has ever dug deep enough to find. If his attention is anything other than just another publicity gimmick, she might let herself see where it leads. But before she can risk everything, she has to be sure. If there's one thing that Tro Gunnison has learned in the six years since he left his past in the dust, it's that living life big, bold, and totally outrageous keeps people from seeing past the glare. He's buried his demons beneath six feet of sex, drugs, and rock and roll, and he's convinced that no one will ever dig them up...until Lucky. She's young, but not naive, and without even trying, she sees past the facade to the man underneath...which scares the hell out of him. Because what started out as smoke and mirrors has somehow turned real, and for the first time in his life, there's someone he cares about more than himself. But it turns out getting Lucky could be a double-edged sword. He's always been sure it would be his past that would bring him down, but it might turn out to be Jail Bait instead.

Jailbait and Other Stories
Author: Brad Gooch
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Gays' writings, American
Languages : en
Pages : 196
Book Description
The ten stories in Brad Gooch's first book of prose are as contemporary as an overheard phone call. Don't expect complicated plots, in-depth conversations, moments of acute psychological analysis. Instead the author gives us a voyeuristic look at some tough people caught in private (slightly embarrassing) moments. Seen as if through the windows of an apartment building. Speaking the pared-down dialogue of a TV show or movie. Gooch's style--spare, hesitant, factual, sensual, polished--allows the primitive storytelling back in; we feel the propelling undertow of his characters' desires and impulses. Jailbait and Other Stories is unquestionably a text of an for the Eighties.
