Haywood, Thomas W.; And Others
Child Abuse & Neglect: The International Journal, v20 n12 p1233-43 Dec 1996
A study of 24 cleric and 45 noncleric child molesters and 48 cleric and 40 noncleric control subjects found a positive association between reports of being sexually abused as a child and becoming an abuser. Differences between cleric and noncleric molesters suggest a different etiology of offending. (CR)
