Description

Little is known about Sexual Murderers - those who kill in a sexual context. Recent studies have compared their backgrounds and characteristics with that of rapists and/or violent (non-sexual) offenders. This translation of a French original by the renowned Jean Proulx challenges existing knowledge on sexual murders, offers new tools for profiling and interrogation, and helps to establish a new research base. Current theories of sexual murder, its prevalence, reasons including attachment theories, profiling and interrogation techniques are all addressed in Proulx's distinctive, thought-provoking style.

Jean Proulx is Professor and Director of the School of Criminology at the University of Montreal, and Researcher at the International centre of Comparative Criminology of that university. His main research interests are personality profiles, sexual preferences, treatment issues, and recidivism risk factors among sexual murders, rapists, child molesters and incest offenders. Over the last twenty years, he has published four books and more than 100 book chapters or refereed articles, in French and English. Since 1989, he has been active, both as Researcher and Clinical Psychologist, in treatment programmes for sex offenders at the Philippe-Pinel Institute, a maximum-security psychiatric institution.

He evaluated more than 1200 different sex offenders either during their admission process or before their release. He has published a number of studies on the offending process of sexual offenders, criminal profiling, and sexual preferences of sex offenders.
