To take this as evidence that that is the only sexual crime being committed by pedophiles is similar to newspaper articles only reporting on same sex pedophiles. Where are the other pedophiles?? Hiding right under our noses as usual.

Is your need to believe in the findings of this study so great that you can’t see its methods are awful?

What adoption post are you referring to? I think you might be thinking of another blog.

This is not the first study to collect data using newspapers. In fact many studies do. I saw that you recently invoked on a Christian web log the phrase “bearing false witness” when calling on people to shun this research, but what you’re doing is hardly Christian yourself. For a Christian psychologist, what you’re doing isn’t any different than your liberal counterparts. Support what you like and bash and discredit what you don’t like like a bunch of grown up children who can’t handle something.

..and by the way, you posted a few posts before this about an adoption center that refused to look into a complaint of abuse from a child with two gay adoptive parents, because they were afraid it would be seen as discrimination. So much for “Not to mention that same sex perpetrations might actually be more likely to be reported and made public.” Discuss the data and variables as they are and quit the sarcasm and typical scientific bashing.

With no definition for “homosexuality” no one really knows what is being studied. To call it “same sex ” sex won’t satisfy most “gays”.
