The Exploration of Infantophilia: Establishing Infant-Related Sexual Assault Profiling Typologies

• In Event: Narratives of Sexual Violence Against Children and Organizational Responses

Abstract

Abstract: The following research study was qualitative in nature, exploring the plausible perpetration patterns associated to the sexual assault of infants. The data was collected throughout the United States with a total of 25 cases utilized for a content analysis in addressing preliminary criminality patterns that subsist among the offenders that elect to participate in the sexual assault and/or exploitation of infants. This qualitative assessment revealed pertinent data regarding perpetration patterns for the goal of appraising emergent themes of offender typologies.
