  • Title: Rape and rape-murder: one offender and twelve victims.
    Author: Ressler RK, Burgess AW, Douglas JE.
    Journal: Am J Psychiatry; 1983 Jan; 140(1):36-40. PubMed ID: 6847982.
    Abstract:
    This study analyzes data pertaining to 12 rapes and rape-murders committed by one male adolescent offender over a 4-year period. All offenses except the first were committed while the offender was under psychiatric and probationary supervision. The use or relinquishment of violence by the offender was found to be dependent on subtle interpersonal factors. The authors stress the importance of the use of crime scene data and interviews of patients who have committed sex crimes, the role of psychological profiles in apprehension of suspects, and the contribution of law enforcement as a data resource.
