"Hazelwood is a fascinating figure."
— New York Times
" Solid detail. Good case reviews. Recommended overall. However, some of the conclusions on modern societal influences on sexual violence presented in later chapters need supporting study documentation. For example, an increase in reported sexual violence caused by Rap Music? Maybe; could be, but maybe not. In any case, a statement like that needs a documented study... There are several instances of sweeping generalizations presented without documentation. "
