Abstract
To address assessment and intervention issues with paraphilic disorders, latent structure must be identified. Using data collected via the Multidimensional Inventory of Development, Sex, and Aggression from samples of male sex offenders and college-aged males and females, taxometric analyses suggest dimensionality in males and categorical latent structure in females.
