A total of 118 sex offenders were compared on two measures of violence-proneness (the Clarke Violence Scale or CVS and the Forensic Assessment of Violence or FAV) and the AECOM Coping Scales. The sex offenders were divided into 29 violent and 89 nonviolent cases, based on their criminal histories of sexual and assault offences. Both the CVS and FAV discriminated violent and nonviolent cases but improvements in the measures are needed. The AECOM Minimization, Mapping, and Reversal Coping Scales discriminated the two groups as well. The FAV results, especially, were influenced by test-taking response set. Distinctions between ‘self-perceptions of violence’ and ‘violent behavior’ are highlighted and discussed.

The Gender Dysphoria (Gd) Scale developed by Althof, Lothstein, Jones and Shen (1983) was compared in a data base sample of 483 cases. There were 46 gender patients, 383 sexually anomalous patients and 54 community controls. The Gd Scale did show that gender patients had highest scores but there were indistinguishable from homosexuals (androphiles) who had no apparent gender dysphoria. Community controls also scored higher than nonhomosexual sexually anomalous patients. An examination of the Gd scales test properties showed that it had poor internal consistency and tended to be biased by education and IQ. Suggestions fro improving the Gd scale are offered.

Assessing the long-term behavioral effects of sex offender treatment was undertaken by interviewing a total of 70 sex offenders. A structured interview process was used, along with pre- and post-testing for 5 time periods. Participants were asked to indicate their ability and confidence on 10 variables regarding risks of offending at 6 months, 1, 2, 3, and 4 years post-treatment. Trends indicate overall improvement and increased ability to maintain a new life-style free from offending behavior. These self-report data corresponded with results on the Tennessee Self Concept Scale, the BEM sex Role Inventory and the Derogatis Sexual Functioning Inventory. Four years after treatment, participants reported total confidence for not reoffending. They stated that they felt they had control over their sexual misconduct even though their sexual urges still remained a problem. Most felt less need to use their maintenance plan, although they used it when needed.

A total of 98 sex offenders, including 32 incest offenders, 38 pedophiles, 28 sexual aggressives, and 7 exhibitionists, were compared for defensiveness, assertiveness, aggressiveness, and empathy, employing the Interpersonal Behavior Survey (IBS) and Empathy Scales. The measures overall failed to distinguish defensive and violent sex offenders from those less defensive and nonviolent. Results showed that a number of IBS scales as well as the Empathy scale lacked internal consistency. The measures need further development to examine the theoretically important measures of assertion, aggression, empathy and defensiveness in sex offenders.

The present paper reviews the empirical literature on the proportion of child sexual abusers who were themselves sexually victimized as children. While findings in individual studies ranged between 0% and 67%, on average about 28% of the offenders reported being sexually victimized as children. This rate is higher than the base rate for community samples of non-offending males (about 10%), but is similar to the rates found in other sexual or non-sexual offender populations. The relationship between childhood sexual victimization and sexually abusing children as an adult does not appear to be specific; rather, it is probable that many forms of childhood maltreatment can lead to many forms of behavioral and psychological problems in adulthood.

The present mail questionnaire study was designed to meet the need for a Canadian community pornography standard by obtaining a crossection of judgments from residents in a Southwestern Ontario city. This study compared four measures of pornography tolerance: an attitudinal index dealing with the perceived outcomes of watching pornographic materials and three measures assessing tolerance for 22 sexually-oriented cues displayed in each of the three media: magazines, movies, and video-cassettes. The results of this study indicated that the latter three tolerance measures were preferred over the attitudinal index when assessing individuals' tolerance toward pornography. Further, this study indicated that, for the residents of the test city, the majority felt that their pornography tolerance levels were representative of their community neighbors. Implications for social science research and for the legal system are discussed.

The clinical records of five men who had sexually assaulted women aged 60 or over were compared to the records of seven men who had sexually assaulted younger victims. Details of childhood adjustment, psychiatric and criminal histories, psychiatric diagnosis, psychological assessment findings, and offence characteristics were examined to determine psychological and social factors specifically associated with the sexual assault of older women. The findings suggest that when victims are older women, the sexual assault is likely to be particularly brutal and largely motivated by anger, a need for power, or sadistic intent. Further, the gratuitous violence involved in the offences and clinical evidence of psychotic features, suggest more severe psychopathological processes in men who sexually assault older women than in those who assault younger victims. Implications for theory and clinical practice are discussed.

The case records of 240 children with validated sexual abuse were compared to 113 nonabused female children matched for age and education. Most were female (91%) with 65% of the children being 10 years of age or younger. The average age for all children was 8.47 years. In this study, chronological age was compared to the five stages of sexual maturity, as defined by Tanner (1978) to determine which was better in identifying the abused children. Use of arbitrary age limits makes it difficult to identify what victim features appeal to pedophilic and incestuous men. The results indicated that the majority of child victims (67%) were Tanner stage 1's, the least sexually mature. Of special import, it is the smaller, lighter, and least sexually mature children who appear to hold the most attraction for the sexual abuse perpetrator. More sexually mature children (Tanner 4's and 5's) were more often subjected to intrusive sexual acts: digital, oral, anal, and vaginal penetration. Older girls, also, were more likely to be threatened or bribed. Though age and Tanner scores correlated 0.75, this relationship does not resolve the diagnostic problem of pedophilia. However, for children 10 years or older, the Tanner score may be more informative than chronological age as a predictor of pedophilic attraction to children. This study calls into question the almost exclusive use of chronological age as a putative criterion for diagnosing child sexual offenders.

Eighty-seven sex offenders being assessed pretrial and presentence or posttrial for probation/parole were administered a questionnaire inquiring about desire for treatment, acceptable types of treatment and the nature of any problems, as perceived by the offenders. Three groups were examined: sexual aggressors against adult females, incest perpetrators, and pedophilic offenders. In spite of their legal circumstances, only 49.4% of the sex offenders wanted treatment. The preferred therapies were individual psychotherapy, social skills training and group therapy. The most frequently used therapy for sex offenders, namely, aversion conditioning, was among the least acceptable, along with castration, sex drive reducing drug therapy, and, paradoxically, group therapy. Male therapists were preferred more than twice as often as female therapists. Sex offenders saw interpersonal relations and lack of social skills as their major problems. Many were concerned about coping with the sequelae of their crimes. Less than two in five considered their anomalous sexual behavior to be a problem for them. Results suggest that there is considerable disparity between therapists' application of treatment and the offenders' perceptions of their own needs. Improving congruence between therapist and offender-patient goals may enhance treatment compliance and therapy success for sex offenders generally.

Twenty-one incest offenders and 22 heterosexual pedophiles were compared to 22 violent offenders, and 17 normal controls recruited from the community. The groups were compared with respect to: 1) the pattern of coercion and sexual behavior used in their offences; 2) erotic attraction to children, pubescent and adult females, based on measures of penile tumescence; and, 3) their propensity for violence. About a third of incest and pedophilic offenders assessed actually penetrated their victims, engaging in both physical (e.g. slapping, hitting) and emotional (e.g. yelling, threatening) coercion in order to obtain compliance from uncooperative children. As predicted, some sexual perpetrators do appear to engage in "gratuitous" violence. The data suggest that 15 (68%) of the heterosexual pedophiles preferred fondling and mutual masturbation with children, while 7 others (32%) were more aroused by scenes depicting forced penetration (both digital and genital), contrary to their initial self-reports. Incest offenders reacted most to sexual interactions with adults but they also showed comparable reactions to consenting sex with children. Both incest perpetrators and pedophiles were less violent generally than the nonsexually violent offenders but more violent than community controls. The results support recent research findings that violence may be a more common and integral part of the sexual behavior of some pedophiles or incest offenders, than previously believed. The data also lend credence to the growing body of evidence which suggests that "violence" in pedophilic offences has been underestimated and needs serious reexamination.
