NEW YORK — A massive study
of sex offenders, published by the
Kinsey Institute of Sex Research,
credits "elements in the Jewish
culture and family life" for the fact
that Jews are rarely involved in
such offenses, just as they are sel-
dom involved in crime generally.
The study, which analyzed data
collected over a period of some 20
years in various parts of the United
States, concluded that "there are
simply far too few Jews in our
prisons and sex offender groups to
be explained in any other way."
"Sex Offenders," published by
Harper and Row, is based on a
sample of 1,346 white males con-
victed of one or more sex of-
fenses. The definition of a sex of-
fender is one who has been
arrested, tried and convicted for a
specific sex act legally forbidden
as a criminal activity.
Data on two other groups were
developed for purposes of compari-
son. A prison group sample was
comprised of 888 white males who
had never been convicted of a sex
offense but who had been sent to
prison for some other misdemeanor
or felony.
A control group of 44 male
whites was made up of persons
who had never been convicted of
anything more serious than a traf-
fic violation. Data on the control
group members' sexual histories
were obtained from those of the
thousands of persons who have
been interviewed by Kinsey In-
stitute staff members.
Approximately two-thirds of
the control prison groups were
Protestant and one-quarter Cath-
olic. The authors indicated that
Jews were slightly under-rep-
resented in the control group and
were rare in the prison group.
In the sex offenders' group, 75
per cent were classified as Pro-
testant, 20 per cent were Cath-
olic and 1 per cent was Jewish.
The study found that in only one
category of sex offenders, that of
homosexuals, did the Jews con-
stitute as much as 2 per cent.
Progressive Movement
in Israel to Be Topic of
World Union Parley
NEW YORK—Jerusalem will be
the site of the 15th international
conference of the World Union for
Progressive Judaism July 3-6. It
is the first time in the 42-year
history of the or-
ganization that it
will meet in
Israel, and the
convention is ex-
pected to be one
of t h e largest
ever held.: It will
be opened by
Rabbi Jacob K.
Shankman, New
R o c h elle, N.Y.,
president of the
WUPJ.
The question of
Rabbi ShankmanLiberal alterna-
tives to Orthodoxy in Israel, and
the relation of the Progressive
movement to the Jewish state will
be the main themes of the confer-
ence; the growth of Liberal Juda-
ism in Latin America, Europe,
South Africa, Australia and India
also will be examined.
The sessions will be held at the
Hebrew University, the Hebrew
Union College and the Har El
Synagogue. Jerusalem was chosen
as the site of the biennial conven-
tion in order to emphasize the
solidarity of the WUPJ with the
young Progressive movement tin-
der way in Israel, which includes
seven Reform congregations. It is
the patron organization of the Leo
Baeck Secondary School in Haifa.
Prime Minister Levi Eshkol and
the former ambassador to the
United States, Dr. Avraham Har-
man, will address the delegates.
