TY - JOUR PY - 2004// TI - Sexual deviance among male college students: prior deviance as an explanation JO - Journal of interpersonal violence A1 - Jackson, Arrick A1 - Veneziano, Louis A1 - Riggen, Katherine SP - 72 EP - 89 VL - 19 IS - 1 N2 - Much research on sexual deviance on university and college campuses is limited by its narrow focus on group affiliation and leads to much speculation and conjecture. This article suggests that an alternative explanation is more suitable for explaining such an important and complex problem on college campuses. It argues that prior deviance serves as a more robust predictor variable of sexual deviance. Logistic regression analyses indicate a direct relationship between prior deviance and sexual deviance. The results lend support to the argument that group affiliation is not a suitable explanation for such a complex societal problem-sexual deviance. Limitations of the study and directions for future research on sexual deviance are discussed.
