Abstract
The focus of this chapter is on major patterns of rape and the identification of some of their unique or distinguishing characteristics. In most cases, these characteristics are based on a systematic study of 170 men who were convicted of sexually assaulting adults and 178 men who were convicted of sexually assaulting a child and who comprise a random subsample of all the offenders we have worked with to date.
