Official demographic and offense history data (n = 362) and confidential self-report data on paraphilic interests and behavior (n = 221) obtained on adult males convicted of sexual offenses against children were analyzed. Considerable criminal diversity was observed, with all standard categories of offenses represented in offenders' criminal histories. Most (86%) of the offenders' previous convictions were for nonsexual offenses, and most (92%) of the recidivist offenders had previously been convicted of at least one nonsexual offense. The prevalence of diagnosable paraphilias was low, with only 5% meeting formal diagnostic criteria for multiple (two or more) paraphilias other than pedophilia. Sexual offenders' paraphilic interests were unrelated to the extent of their sexual offense convictions but were significantly related to the extent of their nonsexual offense convictions. The results are better explained by a general theory of crime than by traditional clinical conceptions linking sexual offenses specifically with sexual psychopathology.
对362名因针对儿童的性犯罪而被定罪的成年男性的官方人口统计学和犯罪历史数据，以及221名关于恋癖兴趣和行为的保密自我报告数据进行了分析。观察到相当大的犯罪多样性，犯罪者的犯罪历史中涵盖了所有标准类别的犯罪。大多数（86%）犯罪者以前的定罪是非性犯罪，并且大多数（92%）累犯犯罪者以前至少被定罪过一项非性犯罪。可诊断的恋癖患病率很低，只有5%符合除恋童癖之外的多种（两种或更多）恋癖的正式诊断标准。性犯罪者的恋癖兴趣与他们性犯罪定罪的程度无关，但与他们非性犯罪定罪的程度显著相关。与将性犯罪与性精神病理学具体联系起来的传统临床概念相比，用一般犯罪理论能更好地解释这些结果。
