Example text
In this portion of the study respondents were questioned about their processes of victim selection, their knowledge and feelings for their victims, any alcohol or other drug use associated with their crimes, and their feelings about their crimes. The respondents in this phase of the study were asked to detail all aspects of their crimes of incarceration, from victim selection to current feelings about their convictions. I Studying Sex Offenders 35 anticipated that the answers from these questions would allow me to ascertain whether the respondents’ victim selection patterns adhered to that predicted by Cohen and Felson in their Routine Activities Theory (1979).
The following major rapist typologies can be linked to the General Theory of Crime while Routine Activities Theory explains both opportunities to offend and victim selection. As such, these theories will be presented as criminological explanations for sexual offenders’ behaviors. Instead of aligning rape with intercourse, which serves to support rapists’ justifications, sexual offenses should be defined as sexually perpetrated physical assaults. This definition is gender neutral, it is general—meaning that it applies to all actions which would fall under the realm of sexual offending, and it correctly denotes rape and other sexual offenses as crimes of violence, not of sex (Holmes and Holmes 2002; Holmes and Holmes 1996).
Once all potential respondents were gathered together, I explained that I wanted to find out about their backgrounds and opinions on a variety of issues. In addition, I stated that I felt that in my field of study, criminology, not enough research had been done using inmates and that I intended to remedy that with my research project. Then, each group was told that anyone who did not want to participate was free to leave. The number of participants who left varied from none in Group A1 to a dozen or more in Group B and Group C at Joseph Harp Correctional Center.
