TY - JOUR PY - 2020// TI - No man's land: the denial of victimisation in male statutory rape cases JO - Journal of sexual aggression A1 - Burrow, John A1 - Scott, Deena A. Isom A1 - Mikell, Toniqua SP - 316 EP - 333 VL - 26 IS - 3 N2 - Through a synthetic review (i.e., a synthesis or critical analysis of a body of knowledge to identify trends, discrepancies, and new lines of inquiry), of the case law, supplemented by empirical literature, we aim to achieve two goals: (1) identify the factors that influence judges' perceptions of male victims of female perpetrators of statutory rape, and (2) juxtapose conflicting perspectives between traditional legal professionals and scholars and more contemporary and critical theorists and researchers. This review suggests that the narratives within the case law used to discuss statutory rape perpetuate the marginalisation, devaluation, and invisibility of male victims.
