Multiple sources of information including psychological testing are used to increase the reliability of the evaluation. The defendant is interviewed on various topics involving background history as well as sexual development, attitudes, adjustment, and behaviors. I also did searches of just the single keywords or ideas that vaguely mean the same thing, and I couldn't find what I was looking for. Sexual deviancy and sexual violence are commonly assessed. Elias and Dunning speak of the need to re-channel the more aggressive elements of overt sexuality through the media, books, sport, etc., in order to promote ‘civility’ (Elias & Dunning, 1993) they argue that this allows for the dualist nature of libidinal or taboo desires to co-exist with civil society, without the contravention of either. I did a few Google searches using the keywords Sexual repression and sexual deviance, as well as using the PsycINFO database from Ebsco that my school provides and using the same keywords to no avail. I was wondering, "what gives?" Before, having researched this topic, I just figured that repression of all kinds leads to deviant behavior, but after a search through some databases, I could not find anything that corroborates this belief.
Now we all have heard stories of people growing up in incredibly strict households that become some of the most exploratory and sexually deviant persons as soon as they get a 'taste of freedom' in college, or kids that went to Catholic schools that seem to stand for the antithesis of everything the Catholic church is as soon as they get out. Compulsive sexual behavior is sometimes called hypersexuality or sexual addiction. Is there a correlation between sexual repression and sexual deviancy? An alternative approach to assessing deviancy is considered where deviant behaviour is compared against a four-group continuum of normal to deviant sexual behaviour in terms of developmental and chronological levels.
