The second was to explore differences in the psychosexual development of participants with GA in early childhood compared with those without GA. It was expected that offenders with GA show specific problems in their psychosexual development compared with offenders without GA.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The data for the present study were obtained by reanalyzing an existing database derived from a large-scale research project about sexual homicide. Using a predominantly exploratory design we, therefore, divided the total sample into two subgroups (with vs. without indicators of GA).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Main Outcome Measures<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Main outcome measures were the number of sexual homicide perpetrators showing GA in early childhood and the differences of subjects with and without GA with regard to their psychosexual development (i.e., according to sexual deviant interests or sexual dysfunctions).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The prevalence of GA is substantially higher in this sample than epidemiological studies indicated in the normal population. This result provided first support for the importance of GA in the population of sexual homicide perpetrators. Further analyses indicate significant differences between both subgroups: Offenders with GA in early childhood showed indicators for more sexual dysfunctions (e.g., erectile dysfunction) in adulthood and a distinct tendency of more masochistic sexual interests.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Even if the exploratory design of the present investigation allows no causal conclusions between GA and sexual homicide offenses, the result provided support for the relevance of early childhood sexual diseases in the assessment (and treatment) of offenders who have committed severe sexual violence.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jsm.12051","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,1,24]],"date-time":"2013-01-24T15:38:48Z","timestamp":1359041928000},"page":"972-980","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Genital Abnormalities in Early Childhood in Sexual Homicide Perpetrators"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Martin","family":"Rettenberger","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Sex Research and Forensic Psychiatry \u00a0 , Hamburg , Germany"},{"name":"University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf \u00a0 , Hamburg , Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andreas","family":"Hill","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Sex Research and Forensic Psychiatry \u00a0 , Hamburg , Germany"},{"name":"University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf \u00a0 , Hamburg , Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Arne","family":"Dekker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Sex Research and Forensic Psychiatry \u00a0 , Hamburg , Germany"},{"name":"University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf \u00a0 , Hamburg , Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wolfgang","family":"Berner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Sex Research and Forensic Psychiatry \u00a0 , Hamburg , Germany"},{"name":"University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf \u00a0 , Hamburg , Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Peer","family":"Briken","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Sex Research and Forensic Psychiatry \u00a0 , Hamburg , Germany"},{"name":"University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf \u00a0 , Hamburg , Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,4,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024032601000336600_bib1","article-title":"The controversy regarding the need for hormonal treatment in boys with unilateral cryptorchidism goes on: A review of the literature","author":"Ludwikowski","year":"2012","journal-title":"Eur J Pediatr"},{"key":"2024032601000336600_bib2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"49","DOI":"10.1093\/humupd\/dmm027","article-title":"Epidemiology and pathogenesis of cryptorchidism","volume":"14","author":"Virtanen","year":"2008","journal-title":"Human Reprod Update"},{"key":"2024032601000336600_bib3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"109","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ucl.2011.09.002","article-title":"Adult male health risks associated with congenital abnormalities","volume":"39","author":"Hensle","year":"2012","journal-title":"Urol Clin North Am"},{"key":"2024032601000336600_bib4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"19","DOI":"10.1016\/S1642-431X(12)60035-7","article-title":"Chryptorchidism and long-term consequences","volume":"10","author":"Kurpisz","year":"2010","journal-title":"Reprod Biol"},{"key":"2024032601000336600_bib5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"589","DOI":"10.1159\/000049841","article-title":"EAU guidelines on paediatric urology","volume":"40","author":"Riedmiller","year":"2001","journal-title":"Eur Urol"},{"key":"2024032601000336600_bib6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1433","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.2.4642.1433","article-title":"The fate of the foreskin\u2014A study of circumcision","volume":"2","author":"Gairdner","year":"1949","journal-title":"BMJ"},{"key":"2024032601000336600_bib7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"200","DOI":"10.1136\/adc.43.228.200","article-title":"Further fate of the foreskin","volume":"43","author":"Oster","year":"1968","journal-title":"Arch Dis Child"},{"key":"2024032601000336600_bib8","first-page":"445","article-title":"Pathologic and physiologic phimosis: Approach to the phimotic foreskin","volume":"53","author":"McGregor","year":"2007","journal-title":"Can Fam Physician"},{"key":"2024032601000336600_bib9","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"51","DOI":"10.1007\/978-3-662-07841-9_3","article-title":"Epidemiology of hypospadias","volume-title":"Hypospadias surgery.
