The Child Lovers: A Study of Paedophiles in Society is a 1983 book by British psychologist Glenn D. Wilson and David N. Cox. [1] [2] [3] The book studies the life experiences and personality traits of seventy-seven members of the Pedophile Information Exchange. [1] [3]

The evaluations and interviews presented in the book were conducted from 1988 to 1989. [2] A third of the original sample who answered the two questionnaires provided by the research authors agreed to further have individualized interviews.
