SEX OFFENDERS: PROPORTION OF SEX-OFFENSE CONVICTIONS
Among the various sex-offender groups there are substantial differences in the importance of sex offenses in their total criminality. Some individuals were convicted only for sex offenses. In eight of the 14 groups of sex offenders about half to two thirds of the men were convicted for sex offenses only. Of the remaining six offender groups, three had percentages nearly reaching half (45—47 per cent). The only three groups with a smaller proportion of “pure” sex offenders were the three aggressor groups. About one third of the aggressors vs. adults, only about one quarter of the aggressors vs. minors, and a mere one eighth of the aggressors vs. children had been convicted solely for sex offenses.
The proportion of total convictions that were sex-offense convictions varies from about two fifths to three quarters; for most groups it ran about 50 to 60 per cent. The only exceptions are the aggressors vs. children, of whom only two fifths were convicted for offenses of a sexual nature, and the exhibitionists, with nearly three quarters of their convictions stemming from their sexual behavior. The proportions do not otherwise seem to correlate with type of offense.
