Carolyn Cocca is Professor in the Department of Politics, Economics, and Law at the State University of New York, College at Old Westbury, USA. She is the author of Jailbait: The Politics of Statutory Rape Laws in the United States (2004), Adolescent Sexuality (2006), and various articles and book chapters about gender and superheroes.
These two influential books take a reasonable, grounded, and evidence-based approach towards adolescent sexuality, taking account of the perspectives and agency of young people themselves. Cocca has also reviewed Matthew Waites' influential book The Age of Consent: Young People, Sexuality, and Citizenship (2005), and had her 2004 Jailbait book reviewed by professional historian Amanda H. Littauer, who would later publish a seminal article on Intergenerational Lesbianism.
