By IRB Media

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The FBI’s Behavioral Science Unit has studied aberrant crime, and I spent 16 years examining these crimes as part of that group. I chose to focus on previously unexplored or poorly understood deviant behaviors. There are no boundaries to what a particular individual might do to other people or to themselves.

#2 There is a wide variety of human behaviors when it comes to sex crimes. Some people are attracted to nonliving objects, animals, or people. Others are drawn to all three. Some commit exclusively homosexual crimes, others only heterosexual ones, and still others are attracted to either gender.

#3 The distinction between what is acceptable and what is not may depend on the jurisdiction where the behavior takes place. In some cases, it can be difficult to draw the line between criminal and noncriminal sexual behavior.

#4 The monster who committed these heinous crimes was a well-groomed, middle-aged man. He looked like a pervert, and people were shocked when they saw his pictures.

#1

The FBI’s Behavioral Science Unit has studied aberrant crime, and I spent 16 years examining these crimes as part of that group. I chose to focus on previously unexplored or poorly understood deviant behaviors. There are no boundaries to what a particular individual might do to other people or to themselves.

#2

There is a wide variety of human behaviors when it comes to sex crimes. Some people are attracted to nonliving objects, animals, or people. Others are drawn to all three. Some commit exclusively homosexual crimes, others only heterosexual ones, and still others are attracted to either gender.

#3

The distinction between what is acceptable and what is not may depend on the jurisdiction where the behavior takes place. In some cases, it can be difficult to draw the line between criminal and noncriminal sexual behavior.

#4

The monster who committed these heinous crimes was a well-groomed, middle-aged man. He looked like a pervert, and people were shocked when they saw his pictures.

#5

The sexual offender is a very different person than the stereotypical image of a serial killer. While many factors contribute to the genesis of a sexual offender, no single element is the cause of deviant behavior.

#6

The media has been blamed for promoting violence, but studies have shown that men who watch or listen to such media are not driven to commit crimes.

#7

It treats women and children as objects, and it teaches that sex is merely a bodily function with no special significance. It conveys the message that sex is an expression of instinctive urges, with no need for love or commitment.

#8

The killer murdered the daughter simply because she was at home
