This book explores sexual crime and intellectual functioning.
Drawing on expertise from clinical practice and applied research,
the volume begins with an exploration of the theoretical and
historical background to the interest in links between sexual
offending and intellectual functioning. The authors then move on to
discuss assessment of intellectual functioning in prison,
interventions for low intellectual functioning, autistic spectrum
and personality disorder. This book offers a rare insight into the
phenomenon of high IQ and sexual offending, a much neglected aspect
of the sexual crime literature, and includes novel research that
unpacks this link. It further offers an extraordinary insight into
the experiences of a person of superior IQ in the criminal justice
system for a sexual offence. The book is relevant not only to
psychologists, criminologists, social workers and students, but
also to practitioners, researchers and the general public with an
interest in learning about sexual offending and intellectual
functioning.
This book explores the growing understanding and evidence base for
the role of trauma in sexual offending. It represents a paradigm
shift, in which trauma is becoming an important risk factor to be
considered in the treatment of individuals convicted of sexual
crime. The authors consider the theoretical and historical
explanations and understandings of sexual offending and its
relationship with early trauma, paving the way for a volume which
considers client's treatment needs through a new, trauma-informed
lens. The experiences and challenges of specific groups are also
explored, including young people and women. Readable, yet firmly
anchored in a sound evidence base, this book is relevant to
psychologists, therapists, criminologists, psychiatrists, mental
health nurses, social workers, students, and to practitioners and
the general public with an interest in learning more about the
topic.
