Full title :Sex crimes : patterns and behavior / Stephen T. Holmes, Ronald M. Holmes.

Summary

"This succinct and highly accessible text provides a comprehensive overview of a wide range of sexual behaviors and sex crimes, thoroughly addressing criminal actions from "nuisance" sex crimes, such as voyeurism and exhibitionism, to the most extreme, including rape, sex crimes against children, lust and serial murders, and more. With unique and engaging case studies and first-person accounts from sex offenders, Sex Crimes: Patterns and Behavior provides insight into sex crimes, deviance, and criminal behavior theory and analysis. This easy-to-read text provides information on psychological profiling of sex offenders, the crimes they commit, the effects on their victims, and attempted treatments, in an engaging style." "Suitably brief to serve as a core text in conjunction with readings or as a supplement to another text, this provocative book will spark lively discussion in undergraduate courses such as Sex Crimes, Deviance, Criminal Behavior, and Violent Crimes in departments of criminology, criminal justice, sociology, social work, and counseling."--Jacket.
