Lisak, David; Ivan, Carol – Journal of Interpersonal Violence, 1995
One explanation for male sexual aggression implicates certain adverse consequences of male gender socialization. Two studies tested the hypothesis that sexually aggressive men would be more gender stereotyped and would manifest lower capacities for empathy and intimacy. Results were mostly supportive of the hypothesis. (JBJ)

Reports on a study of the depiction of women in 54 college criminology textbooks published between 1956 and 1992.
