Tom was the only adult who gave me the attention and affection that
I so badly needed. I loved his caresses and the times he comforted
me. I loved talking to him because he was the only adult who
listened and understood. - Neil's Story From Victim to Offender
shows how victims of child sexual abuse become juvenile and adult
offenders. The stories told by these offenders reveal the
vulnerability of boys to paedophiles and pederasts who provide the
male attention lacking in some children's home lives. They show how
early sexualisation damages children's sexual development, their
relationships and their adult lives. The story of a female offender
reveals that this problem is not confined to boys. These stories
highlight the inadequacy of current child protection programs for
the protection of boys. The editor's introduction and the chapter
from a psychologist who specialises in the treatment of offenders
emphasise the need to improve child protection and treatment
programs for offenders.From Victim to Offender offers unique
insights into the experiences of victims and offenders of sexual
abuse, and is essential reading for professionals who are concerned
about child protection and those responsible for the rehabilitation
of offenders.

This book provided me with some new insights.
It is useful for those who have not read much other literature on the profile of offenders, but for those that have you will probably find that you already know much of what has been said here.
