who commit rape usually have great hatred for women, not love.

Dr. Brancale: Many cases are considered statutory rape simply because the girl involved is under 16, even though she may be co-operating with the man. Such a man would not necessarily be a sex deviate.

More In Urban Area

Dr. Van Nostrand: Men who commit rape may be mentally disturbed yet not be sex deviates.

Is there any difference in the number of offences between rural and urban areas? Dr. Van Nostrand: There are usually more offences in urban areas. Dr. Brancale: But there is usually a higher proportion of convictions in rural areas. Rural people react more severely to such offences.

Does marriage alter the controllability of a sex deviate's impulses? Dr. Brancale: More offenders are married than single. Of 217 cases of child molestation, 144 involved married men. Dr. Gray: A sex offender's chances of rehabilitation are usually better if he is married, provided his wife is willing to stick by him.

How many many criminal sexual psychopaths have been convicted under the preventive detention provisions of the criminal code, and what is done with them? Dr. Van Nostrand: Nineteen have been convicted, including seven in Ontario. They go to prison for indeterminate periods -it could be life-but their cases must be reviewed every three years by the minister of justice.

Snooping No Help

If a citizen observes a man whose conduct he deems suspicious, what can the citizen do? Dr. Guttmacher: Not much. It's so easy to go wrong. To create a nation of snoopers would be to make the cure worse than the disease.

Are there any usual signs of a sex deviate? All four panelists: No.

What advice do you give to parents for instructing their

children to avoid becoming involved with sex deviates? Dr. Gray: A conservative approach must be taken. It would be foolish to rush into a radical plan to educate children against sex deviates. It wouldn't be likely to succeed. Over 75 per cent. of the men who molest children usually usually kne " and are known to the children.

Must Warn Children

Dr. Guttmacher: Parents should tell children not to get into cars or take walks with strangers. That sort of thing is obvious. But so often children get involved with boarders in their homes or casual visitors that such advice doesn't help much.

Dr. Brancale: It has been found that children have often been molested--not only by men. they know-but by men who are in constructive positions, such as teachers or counsellers at boys' clubs.

Dr. Manfred Guttmacher

Dr. Van Van Nostrand: Parents should be on guard against any tendency of children to be too friendly with people who are much older than they are.

What proportion of sex offenders are mentally ill? Dr. Brancale: About 20 per cent, usually insane or show some symptom of insanity. Another 30 to 35 per cent. are simply neurotic or filled with anxiety.
