Abstract
ABSTRACTSexual murderers are often presented as a specific type of sex offender. Although never empirically tested, several theoretical models of sexual homicide have suggested that the origin of this crime could be found in the development of these offenders. The aim of the study is to review the developmental factors associated to sexual homicide. Moreover, the review presents specifically the developmental factors that have been shown to distinguish sex offenders who kill and those who do not kill. Implications of these findings are discussed in relation to possible interventions with these offenders.
