Monograph Sexual Criminal Law: From Antiquity to Present-Day Efforts to Manage Sexuality by Means of Criminal Law presents the turbulent topic of sexual offences in a scientific, concise, and systematic manner. The core of the monograph consists of a historical legal study, a comparative analysis of a long list of sexual offences and a review of a relevant international and EU legisla tion. The authors, Damjan Korošec, Sabina Zgaga Markelj, and Vid Žepič, have produced a work that will remain an integral part of any serious examination of sexual criminal law for years to come. Simultaneously, the monography is valuable for case law. In this respect, suggested interpretations and warnings against pitfalls lurking in the divisive 2021 amendment to the Slovenian Crim inal Code KZ-1H are especially topical.

Key words: criminal law, rape, sexuality, history, children, violence, yes means yes.
