Abstract

Professor Diana Scully changed the landscape of sexual violence research with her ground-breaking 1980 study of convicted rapists. Dr. Scully and her colleague, Dr. Joseph Marolla, interviewed 114 imprisoned convicted rapists to understand what rapists gain from sexual aggression and violence. This memorial paper examines this foundational study and its longstanding theoretical and methodological contributions to the field of sexual violence research.
