Ebook: Sex Scandals in American Politics: A Multidisciplinary Approach to the Construction and Aftermath of Contemporary Political Sex Scandals

““Rarely do sex scandals receive careful attention and consideration from academics. Rarer still does a volume as comprehensive as this come along. The authors provide a systematic, exhaustive, and multi-disciplinary approach in an area begging for empirical analysis. Aside from tackling the obvious questions of why politicians engage in such risky behavior, this book forces us to ask deeper questions about the electorate and their fickle relationship with elected officials.” - David Wiltse, Assistant Professor of Political Science, Briar Cliff University.”
““This timely book addresses political sex scandals from a multi-disciplinary perspective. Unique from so-called “exposes,” the authors approach the salaciousness of American politics from the viewpoints of constitutional law, communication, geogaphy, history, media, political science, and psychology. Well researched and articulately written, each essay engages the reader as scholar and populist. Highly informative, this volume is an essential read for those intrigued by power and the sexual license it seemingly grants politicians.”- Keith V. Erickson, University of Southern Mississippi”
