Based on interviews of 61 convicted rapists, the book concludes that rape is more a sexual crime than a violent or power crime. The study exclusively examined serial rape, let serial rapists speak for themselves rather than asking victims or reviewing records and obtained data through convicted felons trained as interviewers. Ideas about rape motivation, target selection and violence emerged from the offenders, who also proposed solutions to curb serial rape. The book discusses the typical victim of serial rape, the number of predatory rape attacks and why victims do not report predatory rape; suggests ways to control predatory rape; explains serial rape motivation through the categories of control/anger rape, supremacy rape and fantasy rape; discusses victim selection techniques and how to avoid rape; clarifies a serial rapist’s use of physical force; explains why some offenders use excessive force, commit necrophilia and cannibalism; offers a narrative about the daily life of a serial rapist; and offers a conclusion and recommendations, including the use of drugs to chemically castrate sexual offenders as one method of dealing with sexual addiction.
