Addressing common myths and misconceptions about sexual offending,
this book highlights the current state of scientific knowledge
about the origins and the development of sexual offending. It
offers a critical overview of current criminal justice policies and
close to 100 years of research on how to best improve these
policies through theoretically-grounded and
methodologically-rigorous research. Focusing on proactive
prevention-oriented strategies, this book revisits popular ideas
about sexual offending through an evidence-based lens, addressing
ideological and populist discourse that has led to ineffective and
reactive policies. It advocates for a clearly defined concept of
the phenomenon of sexual offending to underpin research and
treatment. Uniquely, authors consider sexual offending from the
viewpoint of criminal justice research and practitioners,
incorporating the sociohistorical construction of sexual offending
as a social problem, developmental life course research, and the
impact of social policies. This book is a call for more proactive
research on the origins and the development of sexual offending
over the life course.
