"Diminished Capacity" is a critically acclaimed novel based on a real-life event. It is the story of a 2010 Minnesota rape case involving an adult male who sexually assaults a minor female. In frank terms, the author walks the reader through this technically extensive and highly controversial courtroom case.
One of the unique aspects of this story, is that the man who committed the crime has 47,XXY-Klinefelter syndrome (KS), a genetic chromosomal disorder. This disorder is prevalent in 1 out of every 500-800 males worldwide, and there is growing evidence that the atypical psychological behaviors often found in these adult males leads to problems with the law, including sexual behaviors. Too many KS adult males are serving prison sentences, and the man involved with this story is one of them.
If you know of any adult male with KS, he and his surrounding support group should read this book, for much of it involves the explanation of the disorder. More can be read about the book by going to www.goodreads.com.
