Resumen
PECHORRO, Pedro Santos; POIARES, Carlos y VIEIRA, Rui Xavier. Caracterização psicológica de uma amostra forense de abusadores sexuais. Aná. Psicológica [online]. 2008, vol.26, n.4, pp.615-623. ISSN 0870-8231.
In this article the authors investigated the characteristics of the psychological profiles of 41 child sex offenders (age range=17-43 years; mean age=43 years) placed in state prisons. The Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory II (Millon, 1987) and some descriptive variables (e.g., victims sex and age, sexual behaviors) were used. The results showed a wide range of possible psychological profiles, some more frequent than others, which dont corroborate the existence of a single typical psychological profile. The results put in question the use of psychological evaluations as juridical evidence.
