The means by which women and children are most often subjected to victimization are discussed here, along with the causes and the legal avenues available. Part One examines family issues, including child abuse, domestic violence, and missing or abducted children, and Part Two examines their sexual exploitation. Part Three explores violent crimes against children (e.g., murder, rape and assault), while Part Four is a study of violence against women. Prostitution, pornography, sexual harassment and stalking are the subjects of Part Five. Finally, legislative responses are studied in Part Six.
