Sažetak
Objective: Sex offenders usually are diagnosed with personality disorders, and sometimes with other mental disorders. Those whose victims are children often have paedophilia, while those with adult victims often do not have a paraphilia. We wanted to see if there are some differences (except the diagnoses) among those two groups. Design and Method: The sample were subjects accused of committing a sex crime and sent for psychiatric evaluation, during the time frame 2010 - 2016. There were 51 people, 50 men and one woman (so she was removed from further analysis). They were divided into two groups: those with adult victims (N = 24) and those with children victims (N = 26). Results: Both groups were similar in regard to demographic data (age, employment status, marital status, number of children, education, previous convictions, previous psychiatric treatment). The victim was in both groups usually known to the offender (in 2/3 of cases).The majority were assessed as criminally responsible (62%) and only one was found not guilty for the reason of insanity. The only difference between the groups was that those who offended against adults were more often drunk at the time of offence (59% compared to 18%), and had a diagnosis of alcohol dependence (22% compared to 4%). Conclusions: Sex offenders with adult victims more often have alcohol related disorder and more often used alcohol at the time of offence, compared to those with child victims
