One of the interesting aspects of this study is the offender’s impression of how his parents got along together when he was in his mid-teens. There proved to be a strong tendency for the parents of the incidental offenders to have gotten along better with one another than the parents of the patterned offenders. In [...]
Most sex-offender groups have fewer members with juvenile records than has the prison group, and their offenses are generally less serious. Few committed juvenile sex offenses, but for these few the offenses are fairly predictive for their adult offense behavior. The sex offenders in general become involved with the law later than the members of [...]
While coitus and orgasm are for all practical purposes synonymous in the male, the two must be considered separately in the female. Since we were able to interview only a few of the wives of the men in this study, we have necessarily relied upon the man’s report on his wife’s orgasmic response. We are [...]
In criminological studies there has been a fair amount of discussion of the significance of specific physical characteristics and their relevance to criminal behavior. While little of this literature is explicitly directed toward the sex offender, there has been this long-term tradition, which is in much disrepute among behaviorally oriented criminologists, and which demands some [...]
Only a moderate number had premarital coitus by any given age, the percentages usually being only slightly more than those of the control group. Similarly the age-specific incidence figures are moderate: between ages sixteen and thirty-five some 62 to 73 per cent of the bachelor exhibitionists were having premarital coitus with companions. The exhibitionists had [...]
The virus is transmitted by skin-to-skin contact with a person who is infected, whether or not that person has symptoms. The virus can also be transmitted through the saliva of a person with facial molluscum. It is also believed that the virus can be transmitted through inanimate objects, such as towels. Multiple members of the [...]
Approximately 70 percent of adults have oral herpes by the time they reach the age of forty. Oral herpes infections are usually caused by HSV-1. Most people acquire oral herpes through nonsexual transmission before the age of five, such as from an adult with oral HSV-1 who kisses them or from other children. Many people [...]
Symptoms of donovanosis usually appear between eight and eighty days after infection. The most common symptoms are persistent ulcers where infection occurred (genitals, anal area, or mouth), which are dark red and can cover a large area. They usually start as red nodules or bumps under the skin, which then ulcerate. The ulcers can grow [...]
Who Should Get It? Some doctors recommend laparoscopic pelvic lymphadenectomy in men who are at higher risk of having cancer that has spread beyond the prostate. This group includes men with stage B2 or B3 disease, high Gleason scores (8, 9, 10); elevated acid phosphatase levels; or a PSA score higher than 20. It also [...]
Genetic Susceptibility Most important about these findings is that they firmly establish prostate cancer as a disease that, like breast and colon cancer, is due at least in part to genetic susceptibility. The theory here is that cancer doesn’t just happen overnight; a whole chain of genetic events must occur—picture a whole row of dominos [...]
