Findings
Typologies are based on theories postulating that sex offenders specialize: Child abusers: fixated-regressed, victim gender/relationship
Rapists: power-reassurance, power-assertive, anger-retaliation, sadistic
Females: co-offender, teacher lover/ heterosexual nurturer
Internet: impulsivity/ curiosity, fueling sexual interests, accessing victims/ disseminating images, seeking financial gain
Crossover offending presents a challenge to traditional typologies. Recent advances: developmental risk factors and offense pathways. Description
