Child molesters differed from other types of offenders. Although low self-control and opportunity affected their behavior, the researchers felt that their individual offense motivations needed to be recognized (Hanson et al. 1995). Kruttschnitt et al. (2000) used event history analysis of reoffense to test the predictions of Sampson and Laub (1993) and Gottfredson and Hirschi (1990) on a sample of sex offenders placed on probation. Their findings partially supported both theories. The finding that job stability had a negative effect on offending supported Sampson and Laub’s (1993) age-graded theory of informal social control.
This aspect of the crime of rape is congruent with Gottfredson and Hirschi’s (1990) view of criminals as non-specialists who commit a number of different crimes rather than concentrating on one type of crime only. Scully and Marolla’s (1984, 1985) sample of rapists was no different; 85% of them had previous criminal histories, but only 23% had records including previous sexual offenses (Scully 1990:64). In fact, Scully and Marolla’s (1984) rapist sample was remarkably close to their control group of general felons.
CHAPTER 2 Studying Sex Offenders Description of Research Methods Violent sexual behavior has been a popular topic of study among scholars and feminists alike since the 1970’s, but comparatively few of these studies have focused on samples of convicted offenders. Instead, the tendency has been for researchers to focus on either victimized women or surveys of college students (Scully 1990). ” Studies of women victims helped to combat the rape myths which maintained that women “asked for it” while the surveys of college students helped to combat rape myths which argued that rapists were psychotic.
