Discuss the differences between Groth et al.'s "fixated" and "regressed" child molesters
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: The answer should include a discussion of how the fixated offender has a compulsive attraction to children that begins in adolescence. Their victims tend to be non-familiar, and they tend to have the maturity level of a child themselves. The regressed offender, in contrast, develops their deviant pattern of offending during adulthood, and the molestation is typically preceded by some external stressor. They also tend to victimize children they have easy access to. They also tend to have a normal maturity level.
