This was done to focus on multi-methods, multi-source and multi-contacts to satisfy the validity and reliability. Results showed that the four perpetrators which two of them were individual perpetrators and two others were syndicate (group) identified to had profile or special characters (biologist/physiologist, psychologist and socio-cultural) and determination (method and crime action, modus operandi and signature) in their crime actions. The perpetrators were attached with asocial/antisocial behaviors and addict behaviors (alcohol consumption, drug user and sexual addiction) which had high tendency to repeat their criminal actions. Due to the rule, all children sexual perpetrators were not revealed, get caught and brought to the legal processes.
