TL;DR: Several factors have emerged from community studies as being consistently associated with higher risk for abuse: when a child lives without one of the biological parents; when the mother is unavailable to the child either as a result of employment outside the home or disability and illness.
Abstract: A number of surveys have by now provided information about the relative risk of persons from various backgrounds to experience sexual abuse during childhood. Interestingly, they are fairly uniform in failing to find differences in rates according to social class or race. However, several other factors have emerged from community studies as being consistently associated with higher risk for abuse: (a) when a child lives without one of the biological parents; (b) when the mother is unavailable to the child either as a result of employment outside the home or disability and illness; (c) when the child reports that the parents' marriage is unhappy or conflictual; (d) when the child reports having a poor relationship with the parents or being subject to extremely punitive discipline or child abuse; (e) when the child reports having a stepfather. The article draws some implications from these findings and makes recommendations for ways to improve subsequent studies of risk factors.

TL;DR: It is illustrated how these four factors can be combined to explain more of the diversity in pedophilic behavior than is usually explained by single factor theories.
Abstract: We review a variety of theories that have been proposed to explain why adults become sexually interested in and involved with children All the theories appear to be directed to explaining one of four factors: (a) emotional congruence—why the adult has an emotional need to relate to a child; (b) sexual arousal—why the adult could become sexually aroused by a child; (c) blockage—why alternative sources of sexual and emotional gratification are not available; or (d) disinhibition—why the adult is not deterred from such an interest by normal prohibitions We illustrate how these four factors can be combined to explain more of the diversity in pedophilic behavior than is usually explained by single factor theories We also introduce the idea of viewing types of pedophilia on a continuum rather than in the traditional way of treating them as dichotomies
