Overview
What factors play into sexual offenders who victimize family members versus extrafamilial offenders?
Summary
Individuals who commit incest cases have long puzzled researchers as they do not fit the traditional models of sexual offending. Traditionally, experts say that there are two pathways to sexually offend. One is the antisocial pathway where sexual offending is a byproduct of antisocial personality disorder, a robust criminal history and a lack of empathy for potential victims. The second pathway is the sexually deviant pathway which posits that individuals commit sex crimes because they have sexually deviant interests such as pedophilia.
