The War on Sex is a sociology book edited by University of Michigan professor David M. Halperin and SUNY Albany professor Trevor Hoppe. [1] [2] [3]

The book examines, across 17 academic essays, the rise of sexual surveillance in the United States starting in the 1970s, the criminalization of HIV, the development of sex offenders as a criminal category as well as their registration by the hundreds of thousands, the persecution of sex workers by self-proclaimed anti-sex trafficking NGOs, and sex panics related to children and satanism in American society.
