TY - JOUR PY - 1990// TI - Social psychology, 'marital rape exemptions', and privacy JO - Behavioral sciences and the law A1 - Small, Mark A. A1 - Tetreault, Pat A. SP - 141 EP - 149 VL - 8 IS - 2 N2 - A 50-state statutory search revealed that variations exist in marital rape exemptions throughout the United States. States handle the question of marital rape in one of three ways: (1) by abolishing the exemption for husbands; (2) by qualifying the exemption; or (3) by allowing the exemption. Although marital rape is a topic that has been largely ignored by social psychology, it is an area ripe for psycho-legal analysis. Possible relationships between social psychology, marital rape exemptions, and privacy are discussed against a background of a psychological jurisprudence.
