Overview

How do antisociality and paraphilia affect the motivations of Black American versus White American sexual offenders? The motivations for sexual offending.

Summary

There is a vast array of research pointing to the fact that sexual offenders are a heterogenous group and that it is difficult to generalize across offense types and populations. Despite the vast amount of research on sexual offenders, there is a lack of scientific studies that look at potential differences in offender characteristics related to race or ethnicity. This study sought to address this lack of knowledge by investigating any potential differences between white and black men who have committed sexual offenses.
