Aliraza Javaid’s Male Rape, Masculinities, and Sexualities (2018) is a sociological exploration of the phenomena of male sexual assault. Consisting of eight chapters, the book aims to dispel popular misconceptions of the topic which the author connects to gendered relations and power dynamics. The author bravely inserts his personal narrative as a gay male sexual assault survivor, supplementing his analysis of the literature with his own qualitative interviews with 70 public officials (e.g., counsellors, therapists, volunteer agency caseworkers and police officers) and open-ended questionnaires sent out to an undisclosed number of respondents. In so doing, he provides a soulful analysis of the topic of male sexual victimisation. His findings reveal what many criminologists might suspect, namely that an under-reporting of male sexual assault occurs due to widely held misconceptions that men cannot be raped, male victims are emasculated and the victims themselves are to blame. Thus, male sexual assault survivors must overcome inferences about their character based not only upon gendered notions of victimisation, but also the general stigma faced by all sexual assault survivors (Ralston 2012).

Aliraza Javaid (2018) 男性强奸、男子气概和性行为：了解警务和克服男性性行为受害。英国伦敦：帕尔格雷夫麦克米兰

Aliraza Javaid 的男性强奸、男性气质和性行为（2018 年）是对男性性侵犯现象的社会学探索。这本书由八章组成，旨在消除人们对作者与性别关系和权力动态相关的话题的普遍误解。作者勇敢地插入了他作为男同性恋性侵犯幸存者的个人叙述，并通过自己对 70 位公职人员（例如，辅导员、治疗师、志愿机构案件工作者和警察）的定性采访和发送的开放式问卷来补充他对文献的分析。向数目不详的受访者公开。在这样做的过程中，他对男性性受害的话题进行了深情的分析。他的发现揭示了许多犯罪学家可能怀疑的事情，也就是说，男性性侵犯的报告不足是由于普遍存在的误解，即男性不能被强奸，男性受害者被阉割，受害者自己应该受到指责。因此，男性性侵犯幸存者必须克服对其性格的推断，不仅要基于受害的性别观念，还要克服所有性侵犯幸存者面临的普遍耻辱（Ralston 2012）。
