Forensic Sexology: Paraphilic Serial Rape (Biastophilia) and Lust Murder (Erotophonophilia)
Abstract
Forensic sexology is not synonymous with either forensic psychiatry or forensic psychology. It is a specialty in its own right, and is needed in the courtroom. Paraphilic sex offenders on trial are misrepresented as being, by voluntary choice, psychopathic or sociopathic deviates. They are unable to explain their paraphilic criminality to either themselves or society. Punishment replaces epidemiological research into cause and prevention. Capital punishment has not prevented the reemergence, in each new generation, of serial rape and serial lust murder as an epidemiological, public-health problem, witness the evidence here presented.
