Thus far, we have discussed single-faceted theoretical explanations for sexually deviant interests and behaviors. However, given the complex nature of human behavior and human thought, it is too simplistic to conceptualize sex offending as the result of actions in only one domain. It is not surprising, then, that many researchers have used the basic components of the theories reviewed in chapters 3 through 8 to create multifaceted, integrated models in the hopes of achieving a better understanding sexual deviance. In this chapter, we consider the major integrated theories and models of sex offending, including those by Finkelhor (1984), Marshall and Barbaree (1990), Hall and Hirschman (1991, 1992), Malamuth (1996, 1998a, 1998b), and Ward and Siegert (2002b). Because these authors presented their theories in a single article or book chapter, we are able to critically review all of them in this chapter.
