Abstract
The opening chapter situates the issue of voyeurism within the context of the difficulties of understanding any form of sexual offending and the importance of considering the broadest range of possible factors that may play a role in the development of sexual behaviour. It also presents the working definition of voyeurism that will be used throughout the book.
