(A rape victim charges that pornography caused her attacke...)
A rape victim charges that pornography caused her attacker to become a sex offender. A lesbian mother fights for custody of her child. A transsexual pilot is fired by a commercial airline after undergoing sex change and sues for sexual discrimination. A homosexual is denied employment because of sexual orientation. The law has much to say about sexual behaviour, but what it says is rarely influenced by the findings of social science research. This book focuses on the dynamic interplay between sexual science and legal decision-making. Reflecting the author's wide experience as a respected sex researcher, expert witness, and lawyer, "Sexual Science and the Law" provides insights into some of the most controversial social and sexual topics. Drawing on his knowledge of the relevant research and citing from case law and court transcripts, Richard Green demonstrates how the work of sexual science could bring about a transformation in jurisprudence, informing the courts in their deliberations on issues such as sexual privacy, homosexuality, prostitution, abortion, pornography, and sexual abuse. In each case he considers, Green shows how the law has been shaped by social science or impoverished by reliance on conjecture and received wisdom. He examines the role of sexual science in legal controversy, its analysis of human motivation and behaviour, and its use by the courts in determining the relative weight to be given the desires of the individual, the standards of society, and the power of the state in limiting sexual autonomy. This book should interest and educate professional and layperson alike - those lawyers, judges, sex educators, therapists, patients, and citizens who find themselves standing nonplussed at the meeting place of morality and behaviour.

Dr. Green was born in Menifee, Arkansas in 1936. He grew up in a Minneapolis housing project, and spent time in a reform school.
AB, Syracuse University, 1957; Doctor of Medicine, Johns Hopkins University, 1961; Juris Doctor, Yale University, 1987.
He served in this capacity from March 1988 to May 1989. He later rose to become a teacher, principal, and then the first black Superintendent of the Minneapolis Public Schools. Dr. Green was selected over other black finalist Dr. Bernard Gifford to become the first black Chancellor of the New York City Public Schools.
On March 3, 1988, Dr. Green was installed as Chancellor at a ceremony at Erasmus Hall High School in Brooklyn. He inherited a school system plagued by low graduation rates, a high dropout rate, truancy, guns and other violence, and assembled a team of educators to work with him in addressing these issues and making a difference in academics and safety for the schoolchildren of New York City. In the fall of 1988, Dr. Green and UFT President Sandra Feldman made peace with each other by holding a human-sized yellow pencil together on a public school stage, as they welcomed the only group of new schoolteachers which he recruited into the system at a special ceremony.
Dr. Green, 52, was a lifelong asthmatic. After arriving in New York City, the air quality due to pollution bothered him, and he had been taken to the hospital having trouble breathing after becoming chancellor. On the evening of May 10, 1989, Dr. Green suffered an asthma attack at his apartment in Manhattan.
The official cause of death was cardiac arrest due to inability to breathe. He was returned for burial in Minnesota. A memorial service was held at the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine, New York, with the eulogy given by New York City Mayor Edward Koch.
The Council of the Great City Schools, the nation's voice for urban education, presents the nation's highest urban education award annually, the Richard Green and Edward Garner Award. (Garner was former school board president of Denver, Colorado). The award is presented to an urban school superintendent or school board member in alternative years.
The City of New York Parks Department subsequently dedicated and opened the Dr. Richard Green Playground on Sutter Avenue in Brooklyn. The city also named two schools after him: the Green High School of Teaching in Manhattan and the Green Middle School #113 (formerly Olinville Junior High School) in the Bronx in his memory.
