abstract="This study shows a high association among drinking, alcoholism, and child molestation. Forty-nine percent of the child molesters were drinking at the time of commission of the offense, and 34% were drinking heavily, defined as 10 or more beers or the equivalent. The alcoholism rate for the group was 52% based on the MAST or 33% based on the more stringent Pokorny shortened version of it. An interesting and unexpected finding was a statistically significantly lower incidence of drinking at the time of commission of the offense in male-child molesters compared with female-child molesters. In addition, the male-child molesters had a definitely lower alcoholism rate compared with female-child molesters. The importance of these findings for treatment programs is emphasized.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
