Finalist for the Edgar Award: The gripping account of a sexual predator's reign of terror and the manhunt that sought to bring him to justice From 1983 to 1988, a serial rapist preyed on the women of Cleveland's West Side. His victims were spied on, stalked, and brutally assaulted, their most intimate moments invaded by a vicious stranger. Arrested more than a dozen times for other crimes, Ronnie Shelton slipped through the cracks of an overburdened police department so often it seemed he would never be caught. Based on extensive interviews with the survivors, the police, psychiatrists, and Shelton himself, Unfinished Murder is the riveting, all-encompassing story of this five-year nightmare. In clear-eyed and compelling prose, investigative journalist James Neff documents the long-term devastation caused by rape--a crime too often hidden in shadow--and celebrates the courage of the women who helped to put a ruthless criminal behind bars. Thanks to their brave testimony and the perseverance of the detectives who made the case their personal crusade, Shelton was convicted of raping twenty-nine women. Chillingly, the total number of his victims may be closer to one hundred

Between 2004/2005 and 2009/2010 there was a sharp fall in female labor force participation (LFP) in rural India. Why did this occur? We look at the four standard explanations: that more women in rural areas are now pursuing higher education and are therefore not available for work (education effect), that household incomes are rising quickly enough that there is a tendency for women to withdraw from the labor force to attend to domestic duties (income effect), that employment opportunities for women are decreasing, and that social and cultural factors may be interacting with these three factors and amplifying their effects. Our findings suggest that the decline in rural women's LFP could potentially be due to an income effect and partly due to an education effect. We find no evidence of changes in employment opportunities or of social and cultural interaction effects that could explain the decline in rural female LFP. -- labor force ; women ; rural ; India
