The Link Between Pornography and Violent Sex Crimes
The Link Between Pornography and Violent Sex Crimes
Morality in Media, Robert W. Peters, 03.2004
What prompted this article was the publication in 2003 of the book, “Sex-Related Homicide and Death Investigation” (CRC Press), by Vernon Geberth, a retired NYPD Lieutenant Commander of the Bronx homicide squad who is a nationally renowned homicide investigator . . .
Since I was aware of an FBI study of 36 serial killers conducted in the 1980s, which revealed that 29 of these killers were attracted to pornography and incorporated it into their criminal sexual activity, including serial rape-murder, I wrote to Mr. Pierce, asking if he had “observed a frequent connection between pornography (including stripping) and sexual crimes” and if he would be willing to share his observations in an interview.
