Abstract<\/strong>
Recent revelations of Roman Catholic cleric sexual abuse in America between the 1950\u2019s and 2000\u2019s have similar patterns to other offender groups regarding onset, career duration, and recidivism. As a source of future abuser-perpetrators, \u201cpreviously abused clerics as well as clerics who exhibited an early onset of abuse were more likely to accumulate police investigations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
