This study examined the distribution of multiple disinhibitors related to sexual aggression.
Abstract
This study examines the role of several disinhibitors and the distribution of the presence and absence of these disinhibitors in sexual assaults. Four prominent disinhibitors are selected: alcohol use, drug use, anger, and pornography. Three types of sexual assaults are considered: assaults including sexual intrusion/penetration, assaults including physical violence, and assaults ending in the death of the victim. A conjunctive analysis is used to examine the distribution of these variables both singularly and in all possible combinations. Abstract published by arrangement with Taylor and Francis.
