This controversial study investigates the characteristics of individuals who sexually offend against children. Inevitably, therefore, the book concerns the activities of professionals involved in treating and researching sex offenders as well as those of the offenders themselves. Key features of the book include: provision of interview material giving insight into offenders and their lifestyles; discussion of the criminogenic role of sexual fantasy, including pornography, in sexual offences against children; and the origins of offending in childhood sexualization, including the special significance of women in the sexual abuse of future offenders.
