EMPIRICAL RESEARCH PAPERS WHICH ANALYZE THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN EXPOSURE TO PORNOGRAPHIC MATERIALS, DEVIANT SEXUAL BEHAVIOR, AND SEX CRIMES.
Abstract
THE RESEARCH TEAMS WHICH PREPARED THESE PAPERS INTERVIEWED AND TESTED A WIDE VARIETY OF SUBJECTSINSTITUTIONALIZED SEX OFFENDERS, SEXUALLY NORMAL PRISONERS, HOMOSEXUALS, HABITUAL PATRONS OF EROTIC THEATERS AND BOOKSTORES, AND SEXUALLY NORMAL CONTROL GROUPS. THE RESEARCH PAPERS COVER TOPICS SUCH AS EROTIC STIMULI AND THE AGGRESSIVE SEXUAL OFFENDER, SEX OFFENDERS' EXPERIENCE WITH EROTICA, AND EXPOSURE TO PORNOGRAPHY AND SEXUAL BEHAVIOR IN DEVIANT AND NORMAL GROUPS. ON THE WHOLE, NO STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT CORRELATIONS WERE FOUND BETWEEN EXPERIENCE WITH PORNOGRAPHY AND SEX CRIMES OR DEVIANCY. THIS IS THE SEVENTH OF EIGHT TECHNICAL REPORTS WHICH PROVIDED THE BASIS FOR THE COMMISSION'S CONCLUSIONS.
