Due to advanced statistical methods that evaluate the unique and combined contributions of risk factors, more comprehensive descriptions of the psychological processes, developmental histories and offense patterns have been devised to explain sexual deviance. A meta-analysis conducted by Hanson and Bussiere (1998) found that of 1,839 rapists, 19 percent (n= 349) sexually recidivated and 22 percent (n= 405) violently recidivated over an average follow-up of five years.2The researchers assessed recidivism from several studies that reported the commission of another sex crime (e.g., rape) or violent crime (e.g., assault) through reconviction records (84 percent), arrest records (54 percent), self-reports (25 percent) and parole violation records (16 percent).3They caution that these findings are based on diverse methods and follow-up periods. Stanford, CA: Stanford University Press. Most of these typologies imply that victimization (i.e., who is a potential victim) is linked to the specific type of sexual offender (e.g., rapists sexually assault adults/peers, child sexual abusers sexually assault children). Rehabilitation, etiology, and self-regulation: The comprehensive good lives model of treatment for sex offenders. This often occurs during times of stress and such offenders tend to have poor coping skills and low self-esteem. Jespersen, A.F., Lalumiere, M.L., & Seto, M.C. In addition to childhood abuse, the majority of sexual offenders (93 percent) exhibited insecure attachment (Marsa et al., 2004). Sexual Abuse: A Journal of Research and Treatment, 8, 2743. British Journal of Psychiatry, 143,2029. Dissertation Abstracts International, 49, MI 48106. Nathan, P., & Ward, T. (2002). Simon, L.M.J.

Although they initially perpetrate under duress, some later initiate the abuse on their own (Saradjian & Hanks, 1996). Counseling adult sexual offenders: Unique challenges and treatment paradigms. Developmental and offense histories of female sexual offenders. One of the assumptions of the traditional explanatory models of sex offending (i.e., the specialist) is that offenders who sexually abuse children engage in sexual offending exclusively. Geneva: World Health Organization. The Psychology of Criminal Conduct,3d ed. Simons, D.A., McCullar, B., & Tyler, C. (2008). Inadequate nurturance, inadequate affection, and allowing delinquency best fit the definition of When a sexual abuse situation involves multiple child victims, multiple perpetrators, controlling the victims with fear, and bizarre and/or ritualistic activities, it is defined as In D.R. A review of the factors that can influence the effectiveness of sex offender treatment: Risk, need, responsivity, and process issues. Studies have differentiated female co-offending according to whether the female participated in an active or passive role (Grayston & De Luca, 1999; Nathan & Ward, 2002). Likewise, findings indicated sexual offending began later than nonsexual offending and three out of four groups exhibited a decrease in frequency with age. The meaning of INADEQUACY is the quality or state of being inadequate. Studies have failed to classify rapists according to these nine subtypes without refinement (Barbaree et al., 1994). New York: Plenum. Paper presented at the 27th Annual Conference of the Association for the Treatment of Sexual Abusers, Atlanta, GA. Seto, M.C., Hanson, K.R., & Babchishin, K.M.

The actual sexual offense combined with cognitive distortions serves to maintain sexual offending behaviors. Child Sexual Abuse: New Theory and Research. Onset, persistence, and versatility of offending among adult males convicted of sexual offenses against children. Journal of Family Violence, 24,183191. HlTM0#TD|JU+v%. Recent models of sexual deviance suggest that poor parental bonding enhances the effects of child maltreatment and may subsequently initiate the processes that lead to sexual offending by creating vulnerability in the child (Marshall & Marshall, 2000), a lack of empathy for others (Craissati, McClurg & Browne, 2002b), or intimacy deficits (Ward et al., 1995). (1993). Sexual offenders (the majority of rapists and a subset of child sexual abusers) have demonstrated substance abuse and relationship problems, antisocial behavior in adolescence, employment instability and evidence of psychopathy (Harris, Mazerolle & Knight, 2009; Lussier, Proulx & LeBlanc, 2005). This acknowledges the fact that behavioural patterns amongst such offenders are not mutually exclusive and there can be multiple motivations for committing such crimes. Journal of Aggression, Maltreatment & Trauma, 24, 319337. Risk assessment can be aided by a more considered evaluation of sexual deviance and the likely nature, severity or imminence of any future offending. Dorset, England: Russell House Publishing Ltd. Quayle, E. (2008). 199219). The third type of rapist is the anger-retaliation or aggressive-aim rapist, who is motivated by power and aggression. Due to the limited scope of this chapter, this review focuses on adult sexual offenders, although some juvenile studies are included, where relevant. & Proeve, M. (2010). Hollin & K. Howells (Eds. Child sexual abusers who are specialists are more likely than generalists to exhibit sexual deviance and sexual preoccupation and to have an emotional congruence with children (Groth, 1979; Harris, Mazerolle & Knight, 2009; Laws & Marshall, 1990). Yet, female sexual offenders were more likely than male offenders to report witnessing violence perpetrated by a female; male rapists and indiscriminate offenders more often witnessed violence by a male perpetrator. 1989), the behavioural typology by Canter and colleagues (1998), and the motivational continuum by Lanning (1985, 2010). Allen, C. (1991). After polygraph testing, 21 percent of incarcerated females and 11 percent of female offenders in the community reported age crossover (i.e., offending against children and adults). User Report 2004-02. Over 25 years of research (including victim and offender studies) have shown that only 13 percent of offenders' self-admitted sexual offenses are identified in official records (Abel et al., 1988; English et al., 2003; Heil, Ahlmeyer & Simons, 2003; Tjaden & Thoennes, 2006). In this study, 48 percent of sexual offenders reported adult and child victims, 22 percent sexually offended against both genders and 26 percent crossed over into the relationship domain. This type is similar to the inadequate situational molester. Some internet sex offenders do not attempt physical contact or engage in hands-on sexual offending (e.g., Surjadi et al., 2010; Quayle & Taylor, 2003; Webb, Craissati & Keen, 2007).

Studies have reported that intrafamilial child sexual abusers have fewer victims as compared to extrafamilial sexual offenders (Miner & Dwyer, 1997) and lower rates of sexual recidivism (Stephens et al., 2016). Differences between male and female sexual offenders are identified in the literature. Offender profiling is an investigative tool that helps with the identification, apprehension, and conviction of an unknown offender . However, this evolved over time and the current version of this system envisages child sexual abusers, as well as sexual offenders in general, on a motivational continuum from the situational to the preferential. Characterized by Groth's (1979) anger-retaliation rapist, Ramirez, Jeglic and Calkins (2015) examined the relationship between pervasive anger and the use of physical and verbal aggression (including use of a weapon) during a sexual offense.

Intimacy deficits and attribution of blame among sex offenders. Early onset and deviant sexuality in child molesters. Females who take an active role in the abuse engage in direct sexual contact with the victim. In contrast, stranger rapists are more hostile and use more expressive violence (i.e., inflicting pain or injury as the goal itself) toward women (Polaschek, Ward & Hudson, 1997). Researchers contend that physical abuse, parental violence and emotional abuse result in externalizing behaviors only when they are considered in combination (Lee et al., 2002; McGee, Wolfe & Wilson, 1997). Victimology: An International Journal, 4,1016. Washington, DC: United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.

The avoidant-passive pathway consists of an offender who attempts to prevent offending (indirect route) but does not have the ability or awareness to prevent the offense (underregulation, implicit awareness). Priest, R., & Smith, A. This section reviews the current research findings that compare the developmental risk factors of various offender characteristics. Similar to rapists, generalist (versatile) offenders resemble violent nonsexual offenders (Craissati, 2005; Langstrom, Sjostedt & Grann, 2004; Simon, 2000). In W. L. Marshall, D. R. Laws, & H. E. Barbaree (Eds.). The lack of interpersonal skills means that these offenders engage in minimal verbal communication with their victims, who are often strangers.

Contrary to the experts,cynicaloffenders know their victims or, if they meet online, they fabricate or present true identities. New York: Plenum Press. When adolescents were excluded completely, only 5 percent of offenders crossed over from child to adult victim, which suggests examining crossover offending using broad categories of adult and child results in an underestimation of age crossover. Rapists have been shown to exhibit avoidant parental attachments, whereas child sexual abusers display anxious or ambivalent attachment (Simons & Tyler, 2010; Simons, Wurtele & Durham, 2008; Ward et al., 1995). These models take into account problematic behaviors, distorted thought processes and offense histories. Probation Journal: The Journal of Community and Criminal Justice, 52,401422. Any opinions in the examples do not represent the opinion of the Cambridge Dictionary editors or of Cambridge University Press or its licensors. The majority of theories regarding sexual deviance postulate that sexual offenders specialize in types of victims and/or offenses (Simon, 1997). 439458). Hanson, R. (2002). Such an individual may perceive that the victim has shown a sexual interest in him, or that by the use of force the victim will grow to like him (Craissati, 2005). Many of these characteristics have been incorporated into the typologies of rapists and child sexual abusers (Camilleri & Quinsey, 2008; Groth, 1979; Knight & Prentky, 1990).

These individuals often develop and maintain relationships with children to satisfy their sexual needs (Conte, 1991). Likewise, insecure attachments suggest intimacy deficits, empathy deficits, antisocial lifestyle and social difficulties. Men who molest their sexually immature daughters: Is a special explanation required? However, additional research is needed in this area due to the limitations of this study. In this meta-analysis, only one study used polygraph testing to verify the self-report. The most common type of polymorphism consisted of age (35 percent); 13 percent of offenders were gender polymorphic and 11 percent were relationship polymorphic. The effect of polygraphy on the self-report of adolescent sex offenders: Implications for risk assessment. Studies have found that indiscriminate and female offenders were more likely to exhibit disorganized attachment (Simons, Tyler & Heil, 2005; Simons, Wurtele & Durham, 2008). Far too large a proportion of our prison population is composed of drunks and inadequates.
