Comstock begins with an overview of the emergence of lesbian and gay neighborhoods in major US cities after WWII, and describes how the increased visibility of gays and lesbians was followed by illegal physical attacks that were socially sanctioned. He presents results of his survey on present day violence and compares his data with material crime statistics. He also studies the perpetrators and offers a sociological explanation for their behavior. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)Book Details
