ABSTRACT
Over the past decade, the diversity of the expression of sexually coercive and aggressive behavior has been recognized in numerous studies that have focused on many subgroups of sex offenders, including abuse reactive children (Elliott and Butler 1994; Greenfield 1996; Loar 1994; Barbaree, Marshall, and Hudson 1993), juvenile sexual offenders (Pithers et al. 1998), female sexual offenders (Adshead, Howett, and Mason 1994; Anderson and Struckman-Johnson 1998; Elliott 1993; Larson and Maison 1995), “impaired professionals” (Abel, Barrett, and Gardos 1992; Haywood et al. 1996; Loftus and Camargo 1993), and even such specific subgroups as stalkers (Meloy 1996; Burgess et al. 1997).
