Hardback. A feminist analysis of the sexualised murder of women by men in modern Western society.

Chapter headings include : Sex Crime Comes of Age; The Ripper Repository; The Ripper Repetitions; Companion Ideologies; The Fetishes of Sex Crime etc. With Epilogue, Illus., Notes and Index. 246pp. h/back. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. F. in F. dw.
