    Author: Packard WS, Rosner R.
    Journal: J Forensic Sci; 1985 Jul; 30(3):715-20. PubMed ID: 4031805.
    Abstract:
    Ninety-five defendants charged with sexual offenses were evaluated in a forensic psychiatry clinic. Their psychiatric diagnoses, as well as social, demographic, and criminal characteristics, were studied. Almost half were found to have personality disorders, while one-fifth were given a diagnosis of schizophrenia, affective disorder, or an atypical psychosis. Surprisingly few were diagnosed as having a paraphilia.
