title: Patterns of denial in sex offenders.
abstract: Men convicted of sex offences (N = 102) were interviewed in two prisons. Cluster analysis was used to generate three groups according to pattern of denial; a fourth group was composed of men who denied their offence altogether. The groups differed in their ethnic make-up, offence type and past history of sexual offending.
