title: Commentary: exploring hormonal influences on problem sexual behavior.
abstract: The conceptualization of sexual offending remains problematic and prey to fashion and enthusiasm. Progress can come only on the basis of sound research on the biological, social, and psychological associations to such offending. This study, though in some ways modest in its contribution, offers a model of the systematic approaches which offer the best chances of eventually understanding and managing sexual offending.
