Customer Reviews

Finkelhor is a respectable researcher.

As a researcher, writer, and theorist on pedophilia, Finkelhor is unexcelled. The most significant part of this book is a discussion on what determines gender preference in pedophiles. If you can't get this book, any other book by Finkelhor would be fine.
