The psychology of victims of violence has become an area of widespread interest lately, due perhaps to the widely publicized conversion of Patty Hearst to the radical SLA. Why a person will suddenly turn and become a party to his or her own victimization is a question open to hot debate. Jack and Jerry have […]

Immoral men capitalizing on the innocence of others to attain their goals — a story as old as man. The Bible, history books, law books — all contain examples. And when the innocent victim is young, the story is so much the sadder… The girl in this book — Mary Roberts — is the victim […]

Though the closed world of various institutions and orders is seemingly totally removed from day-to-day events as most people know them, such is not always the case.

Onc need only tune in the television set during prime time on any evening of the week to witness a seemingly endless barrage of violence in the form of “entertainment”. Whether it be cops pursuing robbers, or cowboys gunning down Indians, the pattern is invariably the same. The fact that no one is really hurt, […]

In many cases today’s marriage is seen as a business and/or social arrangement between consenting adults rather than a continuing expression of love. The results are obvious: casual, promiscuous infidelity; a lack of concern for the partner and the children; the breakdown of the nuclear family; and the use of others for thrill-seeking-and often deviant-purposes […]
