Locus of control and sex offenders with an intellectual disability
Article Abstract:
The relation between locus control and sexual offending by people with intellectual disabilities is analyzed by placing 41 participants in 3 different groups of sex offenders who had undergone psychological treatment, sex offenders who never had treatment and nonoffenders. There was no significant difference between the three groups on the measure of locus control with all three groups endorsing an external locus of control.
