The Nordic region (i.e., Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark and Iceland) is generally characterized by its efforts to promote gender equality and to institute humanitarian penal policies. Despite their progressivist orientations towards punishment and gender equality, as in other industrialized nations, crimes like sexual violence and rape persist. To disentangle how Nordic governments and their societies in general view and respond to such acts of violence, Heinskou, Skilbrei, and Stefansen's (2020) Rape in the Nordic Countries covers several conceptual, theoretical and methodological debates throughout its 14 chapters.

书评：北欧国家的强奸：连续性和变化 Heinskou, MB, Skilbrei, ML, Stefansen, K.

北欧地区（即挪威、瑞典、芬兰、丹麦和冰岛）的总体特点是努力促进性别平等和制定人道主义刑事政策。尽管与其他工业化国家一样，他们对惩罚和性别平等持进步主义倾向，但性暴力和强奸等犯罪行为仍然存在。为了解决北欧政府及其社会对此类暴力行为的普遍看法和反应，Heinskou、Skilbrei 和 Stefansen（2020 年）北欧国家的强奸案在其 14 章中涵盖了几个概念、理论和方法论辩论。
