Book Synopsis

The primary purpose of this book is to explore the nature of two forms of sexual behaviour which represent the majority of sexual offences coming to the attention of the courts. Special emphasis is given to the social significance of the deviant behaviour. The material presented has emerged primarily from empirical study and research on cases referred to the Forensic Clinic of the Toronto Psychiatric Hospital, established by the Government of Ontario in affiliation with the Department of Psychiatry of the University of Toronto. The Clinic was established specifically to assist the courts in the assessment and treatment of offenders.

The choice of exhibitionism and pedophilia for consideration was made on purely quantitative grounds, and quantitative considerations remained a leading factor throughout the study. The bizarre and exotic phenomena of sexual behaviour too frequently overshadow the far greater amount of human misery which can be observed daily in our lower courts.
