Never before in the history of this nation have the issues of sex and violent crime been so thrust upon the people. All the people! Everywhere! In the cities, the suburbs, the inner-cities, the super-rich communities, and in the most isolated rural areas. Sex and violent crime, as if by some remarkable rapport of their own, have joined in a partnership to create fear among the people. And, even worse, according to some authorities, the fear has created an attitude for repression and denial of constitutional rights among governmental agencies. Thus, fear has spawned an activist approach that might well in another decade or so ignore the human rights of American citizens.
We believe this issue of the Cameo Sex Behavior Editions is of vital current interest to every person who is intellectually curious about the life around us. We are presenting it in its entirety, as prepared by a lay author of long experience and insightful craftsmanship. In this text, we are foregoing our usual practice of injecting your editors' opinions, based upon our collective professional experience, into the text itself. Our reason is sound, we believe, for the case histories of violence and sex crimes, which appear in-depth within these pages, are of such a nature that any interruption of them might rob the reader of the communication that is intended.
You will find the case histories of this report longer than most. You will find them presented in a rough, two-fisted manner. How else can such subject matter be honestly communicated? And we are confident that you will find within the cases much that is important about the life around us the life that seems, at times, to be surrounded with the threat of personal violence.
Although names and locations and other data have been changed, many of the case histories herein may seem familiar. If they do, it's not unusual, for the cases have been developed from true life experiences have been narratively developed by the author from pathologist reports, police files, newspaper accounts, and from his own personal reportorial background: a background that has viewed the most sexually violent side of human life.
There is much to gain here, friends. Any communication concerning the times in which we all live is of immense value, for by the insights gained we, hopefully, learn how to better deal with the diverse elements of our own society.
