What are some typical profiles of three types of sex offenders?
What will be an ideal response?
Sex offenders are often identified as falling into one of three offender profiles: child molesters, incest offenders, and rapists. Child molesters have low self-esteem, have been sexual abused as children and typically turn to deviance or child pornography. Incest offenders are highly competent socially, are married with children, and are the most secretive and difficult to identify. Rapists have experienced violence or sexual abuse in their past and are most likely to abuse substances.
