The Twisting Lane: Some Sex Offenders

3.8/5 ( ratings)

Few crimes provoke such outrage and upset as the sex offence, making the subject - including the problems it poses to our society and criminal justice system - a natural one for sociologist Tony Parker, whose work consistently shed light into dark corners of human behaviour.

The Twisting Lane, first published in 1969, presents the testimonies of eight men aged between 20 and 70 who had been convicted - most of them repeatedly - for eight different types of offence, from assault or rape of adults or minors, to indecent exposure and 'living on immoral earnings'. Each man offers, in his own words, his personal story and self-perception.

'A remarkable achievement... almost every paragraph is poignant and revealing.' New Statesman

Pages: 242

Release: January 01, 1969

ISBN 13: 9780090951901
