1. While previous books have offered social work perspectives or
research on the victims of such crimes, this is the first to offer
a criminological typology of the offenders. 2. This book connects
academic research to practice, considering the implications for law
enforcement, investigation and prevention.
This book provides the first systematic overview of the
theoretical, empirical, clinical, and police issues related to
sexual murderers and murder. Bringing together leading researchers,
theoreticians, and practitioners from across eight different
countries, this is a truly international collaboration and an
essential reference text for students, researchers, and
professionals interested in sexual homicide, as well as an
exhaustive source of guidelines for the assessment and treatment of
sexual murderers. This book is divided into five parts: Part I,
Theories and research, presents a detailed review of theoretical
models and empirical studies of sexual homicide. Part II, Sexual
sadism, discusses theoretical, empirical, and clinical
considerations and reviews the literature on the characteristics of
sadistic sexual aggressors. Part III, Clinical issues, discusses
the assessment and management of sexual murderers at each phase of
the judicial process: at trial, during incarceration, and during
follow-up in the community. Part IV, Policing issues, discusses
research and practical issues related to police activities
surrounding a sexual murder. Topics include investigation, offender
and geographical profiling, behavioural linkage, and police
interrogation of the murderers. Part V, New directions, presents
new directions for the study of sexual homicide and discusses the
limits of current knowledge related to sexual murderers and their
crimes. Offering a broad and comprehensive approach, this Handbook
is an indispensable source of information on theory, research,
clinical assessment, treatment, and police issues related to sexual
murderers and murder.

Sexual homicide continues to be one of the most widely reported and
sensationalised forms of murder, attracting fascination from the
public and scholars alike. Despite this continued interest, few
empirical studies have been conducted on this particular form of
sexual crime. The Sexual Murderer provides an analytical review of
the state of knowledge on the sexual murderer and his offense, and
presents new data that confronts some of the accepted ideas and
myths surrounding this type of homicide. The authors draw on
original data stemming from both offenders and the police to
present an exhaustive and accurate picture of the sexual murderer
and his offense, and compare the sex offenders who do kill with sex
offenders who, despite being very violent, do not. Each chapter
includes a section on the practical implications of the findings,
and what the findings mean for professionals working with these
cases and for the criminal justice system. This book explores
themes including the role of fantasies, paraphilias, and
personality; criminal career; context of the crime; journey to
murder; modus operandi and crime scene; sex trade workers; avoiding
detection; body disposal pathways; and whether we can predict
sexual homicide occurrence. This book is a comprehensive resource
for academic and professionals involved in sexual homicide cases,
such as psychologists, psychiatrists, investigators and profilers,
as well as individuals working in the field of sexual violence.
This book will also be of interest to students taking courses on
homicide, sexual homicide, and serial homicide.
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.
There is growing recognition that sexual offending is a
multi-determined phenomenon requiring a multi-disciplinary
perspective. The significant contribution of psychology and
psychiatry, but also sociology, gender studies and anthropology to
the study of sex offending and perpetrators of sex offenses has
played a key role in the development of a distinct field of
research. In recent years, however, there has been an increase in
criminological research on the topic, introducing criminological
theory and concepts, scientific evidence and observations, and new
methodologies to the field. This book brings together international
leading scholars to consider key topics on sex offending and, where
possible, compare and contrast criminological viewpoints with those
of other disciplines, such as psychology and psychiatry. This book
considers the following questions: Are the key explanatory factors
of sex offenses completely distinct and different from those of
non-sex crime and delinquency? Are current models explaining adult
sex offending also applicable to explain sex crimes on college
campuses, female sex offending, sexual exploitation, sexual
homicide, or child luring over the internet? Are today's youth
involved in sex offenses tomorrow's adult perpetrators of sex
crimes? What is the risk of sexual recidivism and are risk
assessment tools effective to identify individuals at-risk of
committing another sex crime in the future? Are current legal
measures used to prevent sex crimes effective? What are the known
effects of such measures? What are the issues and challenges
related to the criminal investigation of sex offenses? This book is
essential reading for students and researchers from disciplines
such as criminology, psychiatry, psychology, sexology, social work
and sociology, as well as criminal justice professionals and
practitioners such as police investigators, prosecutors, judges,
probation/parole officers, and treatment providers/counsellors
involved with individuals having perpetrated sex offenses.
