“…For example, the compulsory sociability called for by the bureaucracy-and the simultaneous suppression of real preferences and personal likes and dislikeshas long been subject to criticism (Bensman and Rosenberg, 1960:182). More recently there has been an increasing public re-evaluation of the meaning of work (Lopata, 1978;Glazer, 1978;Etzkowitz and Stein, 1978) and of marriage and family roles (Pickett, 1978a and1978b;Arkin and Dobrofsky, 1978). Emerging from these deliberations is the view that public roles and their consequences for influencing people's identity are less than satisfactory.…”

Self transformation as a personal and shared social experience is shown to be achievable through distance running. Ethnographic materials, extensive interviews, and questionnaire results obtained over a two‐year period show how distance running becomes a meaningful activity that is central to a runner's daily routine as well as a progressive personal identity. The researchers examine the motives and felt self‐accomplishments for a wide range of runners, e.g., “joggers” to “marathoners” to “world‐class” competitors, and then show how each is informed by other realms of meaning, especially the work and the family contexts. The place of running in the context of broader social changes which promote the enhancement of physical well‐being is shown, as are the runners' concerns that the unique running experience may be coopted by organizational and bureaucratic demands.

“…For example, the 2004 Department of Justice national survey of veterans in prisons found that only 14% were incarcerated for lewd acts with children (e.g., molestation of a child, indecent behavior with a juvenile) while 34% had an index offense that was classified as rape (Noonan & Mumola, 2007). It may be that individuals with single-event convictions of sex offenses or those with rape offenses may have nonparaphilic factors that drive sexual assault; for example, some have suggested that the military culture of “hypermasculinity” may contribute to sexual assault risk (Arkin & Dobrofsky, 1978; Dunivin, 1994; Miller et al, 2018; Seamone et al, 2018). By contrast, military veterans admitted under the SVP Act appear differentially characterized by pedophilic interest.…”

While military veterans have a lower overall rate of incarceration for criminal offenses than civilians, they have a higher rate of incarceration for violent sexual offenses. Despite military veteran overrepresentation among individuals adjudicated for violent sexual offenses, little is known about their risk factors for sexual offending. This study compared military veterans and civilians who had been involuntarily hospitalized and discharged pursuant to California’s Sexually Violent Predator Act. Pedophilic disorder appeared nearly twice as often among veterans than civilians (62.7% vs. 38.7%), whereas antisocial personality disorder was twice as common among civilians compared to veterans (48.1% vs. 23.9%). Consistent with the result for pedophilic disorder, veterans were more likely to target male victims age 13 and below, while civilians tended to target female victims over the age of 13. The results suggest different risk profiles for veterans compared to civilians who have been convicted of sexually violent offenses.
