Findings show significant differences between these groups of sex offenders on most risk-relevant variables. Clergy were particularly more likely to have male victims, V = .62, 95 percent CI [.58, .65], and less likely to be married, V = .59, 95 percent CI [.56, .63], or use force, V = .76, 95 percent CI [.73, .79]. The magnitude of differences remained when matched on offense factors (e.g., male child acquaintance victims). Findings suggest sexually abusive clergy are a unique subgroup that differs from general sex offenders on factors associated with recidivism. (Publisher abstract modified)
