| Summary: | This paper seeks to analyze the inter-relationship of three
theories: feminism, psychoanalysis and postmodernism. It
attempts to do this by focussing on the issue of sex crimes;
how each theory provides an explanation for the
phenomenon of sex crimes. It goes on to examine each
theory in more detail, using their position on sex crimes as
a starting point to a discussion of their theoretical
foundations. It acknowledges the major writers in the field
and notices the current trend of analysis to be that of
merger between the theories. The paper examines both the
feasibility and validity of such a merger. === Law, Peter A. Allard School of === Graduate |
