Denial, Response Styles, and Admittance of Offenses Among Child Molesters and Rapists

Regional Treatment Centre, Ontario

DARYL G. KRONER

Millhaven Institution

The present study examined the correspondence of six measures of denial and response styles with the level of admittance of offense among child molesters (n = 49) and rapists (n = 49). Comparison of child molesters with rapists showed that child molesters incorporated more impression management and denial tactics. There were no differences between partial admitters and nonadmitters for both groups on self-report measures. Differences occurred between admitters and nonadmitters for the rapists, but not for the child molesters. The results have implications for treatment and utilization of self-report with sex offenders.
