Abstract
In the research the characteristics of sexual offender focused on the analysis of personality traits in the area of their neuroticism was discussed. The study assumed that neuroticism is correlated with the commission of sexual offenses and its level may be a risk factor and a predictor of committing such offenses. The analysis of correlation and logistic regression was performed on the results of the respondents in prison for sexual offenses and the results of the control group of neuroticism scales measured with the NEO-PI-R Personality Inventory. The results of the analyzes led to the conclusion about the relationship between neuroticism and its individual dimensions with committing sexual crimes, as well as a significant prediction of committing such crimes by the level of neuroticism. The additional analysis showed that sex offenders were characterized by higher results of neuroticism than the control group of not convicted men. Key words:
