Crime: Computer Viruses to Twin Towers is an overview of the United States legal system, with a brief introduction to Islamic and International law. The book is divided into six parts. Part I (The Legal System and Crime) introduces the U.S. legal system and the classification of crime. Part II (White Collar Crime) covers cybercrime, crime the old fashioned way, and healthcare fraud. Part III (Homicide) deals with simple murder, serial murder, mass and spree murder; and assassination. Part IV (Special Groups) covers the mafia; the family; the medical, legal, and teaching professions; the religion profession; celebrities; and stupid criminals. Part V (On the Edge) deals with topics I consider to be a bit strange; that is, quackery, innovative defenses, and dangerous cults. And finally, Part VI (Residue) discusses what is left ... capital punishment and crimes against humanity, including terrorism. Throughout the book, to illustrate points, I have used over 300 cases of actual crimes. The names of the people and the facts of the cases used in the discussions of these crimes are taken directly from referenced news reports.
The subtitle, Computer Viruses to Twin Towers, reflects the scope of the book; that is, from computer viruses, which cause only aggravation or loss of money, to the deadly terrorist attacks on the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001 that snuffed out almost 3000 lives.

Crime
Cahill starts out from the classic conflict between feminist arguments that "rape is essentially violence" (Brownmiller, liberal feminists) vs. "rape is essentially sex" (MacKinnon, Dworkin, radical feminists). Cahill deftly shows that contemporary (continental) feminist insights into sex and the subject as corporeal and intersubjectively constituted makes clear that both positions are untenable. Rape is both sex and violence. While this may have already been clear according to (feminist) conventional wisdom today, this book is nonetheless useful for tracing the implications of this fact, especially for understanding the complex harms of rape (and, crucially, of the latent threat of rape in everyday life). If Cahill's description of women's self-defense as central to resistance is not fully developed, that's because it isn't really what this book is about. She should be lauded for moving toward the question of resistance in her final chapter, rather than criticized for what she doesn't say. (I recommend reading Sharon Marcus "Fighting Bodies, Fighting Words" (1992) on resisting rape if you're interested in women's self-defense... she also doesn't address issues like implications for other cultural notions of femininity and the difficulties of such resistance against acquaintances and family members, but hers is an insightful account from an earlier moment in this conversation.)
