“In what sorts of places are sex offenses most likely to take place?” is a question often asked by parents, police officials, and legislators, as well as by the general public. Table 144 summarizes our findings and shows clearly that the various classes of offenses differ rather widely in the types of places in which they occurred. Some of the findings might be expected, such as the high frequency with which incest takes place in the home; other findings are less foreseen.

In this final category there are a variety of places, none of which fit into the six standard classifications of residence, outdoors, automobile, theater, public toilet, and school. Into this leftover group fall from 0 to 10 per cent of the offenses. The highest percentages—from 7 to 10 per cent—appear in the three homosexual groupings, which occurred chiefly in such places as Turkish baths and other places of business, especially bars and taverns. Among other sites in this final “catchall” class were a coliseum, a firetower, and a hospital. Several offenses took place in empty houses, garages, or barns. One happened in a jail, another in a barracks room, and, finally, one in a house of prostitution.
