Nonrapist

All outsiders and abused children do not become rapists; but many rapists grew up under circumstances which deprived them of the civilizing influences and the rewards that mold the lives of nonrapists.

Rapists in general were significantly less accurate in reading women’s negative cues than a control group of nonrapists; among rapists, the ability to read negative cues was less accurate among the more violent rapists than the less violent.

Because crime is not a specialized activity, a potential criminal (in other words, a person with low self-control) will tend to commit a crime if the opportunity presents itself. Thus, a rapist is more likely than a nonrapist to (mis)use drugs and to commit robberies and burglaries.
