THE MAN THEY CALLED A MONSTER by Paul Wilson (IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND) OBSOLETE

Description: Up for offer is one of the rarest and most controversial books to be ever written in the history of Australian Criminology. The Man They Called A Monster by Australian Criminologist Paul Wilson The book was pulled very quickly. I doubt if a left over, brand new copy exists anywhere in the world. There would be a handful of these in existence. My copy was obtained at the time of publication at the printing plant in Maryborough in Victoria by an inside source. One of the most controversial books to be ever written in the history of criminology in Australia. Written by now infamous Australian high profile criminologist Paul Wilson, whom was sentenced for child sex offenses. Good luck EVER finding this book for sale. Brand new, unused, with the tiniest amount of shelfwear AbstractIn 1981, Cassell Australia published Paul Wilson's monograph, The Man They Called a Monster: Sexual Experiences Between Men and Boys. In his book, Wilson examines the case of Clarence Osborne, an older man who had "sexual relations" with around 2500 boys and adolescents over a twenty-year period. He uses Osborne's life to reflect on broader questions of pedophilia in Australian society. In this commentary, I revisit the book to consider its contemporary legacy 40 years on. According to Google Scholar, at the time of this writing, the book has only 50 citations, yet it is a book that continues to live on in our cultural imaginary for a variety of reasons, and in no small part due to its author, Paul Wilson, and his remarkably similar interaction with the criminal justice system in the decades since its publication. This commentary explores the historical context in which the book was written, pays particular attention to the changing social attitudes towards pedophilia, the recent controversy pertaining to its author, and discourses surrounding the sexual autonomy of minors.
