- 2012, John Randolph Fuller, “Criminal Offenses Against People”, in Think Criminology (CRJU; 202), Special Edition for Community College of Baltimore County, Boston, Mass.: McGraw-Hill Learning Solutions, →ISBN, part 3 (Typologies of Crime), page 226, column 2:
- Rapists in general were significantly less accurate in reading women’s negative cues than a control group of nonrapists; among rapists, the ability to read negative cues was less accurate among the more violent rapists than the less violent.
- 2015, Piers Beirne, James W. Messerschmidt, “Social Learning Theory and Social Control Theory”, in Criminology: A Sociological Approach, 6th edition, New York, N.Y.: Oxford University Press, →ISBN, part II (Criminological Theory), page 154, column 1:
- Because crime is not a specialized activity, a potential criminal (in other words, a person with low self-control) will tend to commit a crime if the opportunity presents itself. Thus, a rapist is more likely than a nonrapist to (mis)use drugs and to commit robberies and burglaries.
