This chapter details a model formulated by the authors that seeks to classify rapists and their behaviours. The chapter is based upon a thesis entitled, "A Descriptive Model of the Offence Chain for Rapists" which involved qualitative interviews with 24 European New Zealand men currently in prison on sexual assault charges. The authors conclude that the model does work in specific cases, but needs adaptation before being used more widely. This was being addressed at the time of publication.
