Aggression and anxiety in rapists and child molesters
Article Abstract:
The distinction between those who perpetrate sexual assaults against children (child molesters) and those who perpetrate them against adults (rapists) are determined. The results suggest that the rapists' level of aggression was significantly higher than that of the child molesters, whereas no significant differences in anxiety levels were found between the two groups.
