This expert reference provides a broad, comprehensive review of the
major domains of sexual offending. Beginning with an integrated
etiological model of sexual offending, chapters follow addressing
the primary predisposing conditions related to sexual offending
(e.g. pedophilic, hebephilic, paraphilic rape and non-contact
paraphilic disorders, hyper sexuality and personality factors). In
addition, special subgroups of sexual offenders (females, youth and
the intellectually disable) are considered. Both broad and specific
perspectives on the assessment of sexual offenders are provided.
Overviews are offered of clinical and forensic evaluations of such
offenders and the utility of structured psychological assessment. A
novel conceptual model of risk assessment is proposed. More
specifically, each of the primary approaches or instruments related
to risk assessment of sexual offending are addressed: the Static
risk assessment measures, the Sex Offender Risk Appraisal Guide,
structured professional judgment, and the varied measures of
dynamic or criminogenic needs assessment. Finally, multiple aspects
of management of sexual offenders are discussed including models of
psychosocial treatment, the question of the effectiveness of such
treatment, biological interventions, civil commitment, circles of
support, and the containment approach to community management.
Chapters are authored by both prominent experts and experienced
professionals for a breadth of perspective. Among the topics
covered: Pedophilic, Hebephilic, Rape Paraphilic Disorders and the
variety of Non Contact sexual offending conditions Personality,
related conditions, & their association with sexual offending:
motivators and disinhibition in context. Disorders of hyper
sexuality. Assessments of sexual offenders, including the role of
