Samenvatting

This book offers a cutting-edge, cross-disciplinary analysis of how the explosive spread of pornography contributes to violence against women, including prostitution, while presenting a political and legal theory on how to effectively stop it. It guides the reader through fifty years of significant empirical research on the harms, including a vast array of different studies illuminating pornography's powerful impact on men, a majority of whom consume it. In a comparative analysis of legal challenges in Canada, Sweden, and the United States, it demonstrates why civil rights, not criminal laws, can empower those hurt, subordinated, and exploited while efficiently dismantling the sex industry, consistent with free speech guarantees.
