Most people who read an article in the newspaper about the brutal
rape of a woman by a stranger, or the long-standing sexual abuse of
a young boy by his step-father have a strong visceral reaction
which is a mix of anger, fear, and incomprehension. Apart from
these aversive reactions, several questions also come to people's
minds: Was this offender crazy or sexually obsessed? What is the
purpose of such outrageous acts? To answer these questions, the
authors of this book review theoretical and empirical models of the
processes that lead men to sexually assault children or women,
whilst also presenting new results and models on this topic. In
particular, this book focuses on empirical analyses of the pathways
of six types of sexual aggressors, three of which (marital rapists,
hebephilic sexual aggressors, and polymorphic sexual aggressors)
have never been investigated before. Drawing on a large dataset on
the offending processes of sexual aggressors, this book analyzes
the influence of personality factors and lifestyle factors on
offending pathways and brings together key researchers in the field
of sexual aggression. This book will be of interest to
psychologists, psychiatrists, criminologists, and social workers
involved in the study, assessment and treatment of sexual
aggressors. In addition, this information will be crucial for
practitioners involved in the follow-up of these offenders in the
community, and will interest researchers and graduate students in
the field of sexual aggression.
