Comparison of Clinical Characteristics, Gender Perceptions, and Rape-Related Beliefs of People Assessed for Criminal Liability for Rape Against Children and Adults

The fact that all individuals had full criminal responsibility emphasizes the need for more research on the social and cultural origins of sexual violence.PMID:38556933 | DOI:10.5080/u26936
