I came across this article which details the research done
by a P.H.D. graduate candidate about men who commit rape. He set up a hotline
in 1976 and posted an ad in the newspaper encouraging rapists to call in anonymously
in the hopes that he could find some similarities between the many men who
called in. Ultimately the group seemed to be more diverse than similar, though
they seemed to have all started at a relatively young age. Even in repeat
studies and surveys done it seems that a rapist will likely deny having raped
though he will admit to having non consensual sexual interactions (a synonym for
rape). It is seen in repeat studies that rapists do not think that what they
are doing is problematic or wrong. These studies further show that there is not
one type of rapist.
