1.The opportunistic type commits sexual assault that is generally impulsive,void of sexual fantasies,controlled primarily by situational or contextual factors,and void of gratuitous violence.These offenders often engage in other criminal behaviours.For
example,a rapist who breaks into a home with the intention of stealing but who rapes the female occupant could be classified as opportunistic.
2.The pervasively angry type has a high level of anger that is directed toward both men
and women.These offenders tend to be impulsive,use unnecessary force,cause serious victim injury,and be void of sexual fantasies.
3.The sexual type is distinguished from the other types in that these offenders' crimes are primarily motivated by sexual preoccupation or sexual fantasies.
4.The sadistic type is differentiated from the sexual type in that there must be a sadistic element to the offence.
5.The fifth type is labelled vindictive.In contrast to the pervasively angry type,the vindictive rapist's anger is focused solely on women.These offenders are not impulsive,nor are they preoccupied by sexual fantasies.The goal of this type of rapist is to demean and degrade the victim.
