Kirkus Reviews criticized the writing. Anatole Broyard of The New York Times Book Review wrote, "his common-sensical recommendations would seem to apply in any case". Author Frederic Storaska was a prolific lecturer on the subject of rape prevention. A film of the same title was released in 1975. The author's qualifications and expertise were criticized in 1976. Fred Bruning of Newsday noted that Storaska was without credentials or publications in scholarly journals and found that a number of experts were skeptical of his views. The book and its author received additional attention when a woman who had seen the film followed its advice and was nearly raped. (en) |
