Sibling sexual abuse is believed to be the most common and
long-lasting form of all intra-familial abuse, with estimates
suggesting that it is five times more prevalent than parent-child
sexual abuse. This book draws on unique research from two studies
which examine the nature, impact and response to sibling sexual
abuse in England and Wales. Given the complex and underreported
nature of sibling sexual abuse there are questions surrounding
whether current interventions are appropriate in helping
victims/survivors, children and young people who have been harmed
and their families. There is growing evidence that highlights a
lack of appropriate practitioner guidance and training which then
leads to insufficient support, impacting negatively on long term
outcomes. This book offers significant findings for policy,
practice, and community engagement. It is written by authors with
that have expertise in criminology, psychology, public health,
social science, social work and also front-line practitioner
experience.
This book, the first of two volumes edited by McCartan and
Kemshall, focusses on perceptions of sexual offenders, and how risk
is used by policy makers, stakeholders, academics and practitioners
to both construct and respond to unknown and known sex offenders
within the contexts of criminal justice, health and social policy.
The chapters provide an oversight of contemporary policies,
practices and debates within the area to help both professionals
and researchers. The collection focuses on emerging areas (public
health approaches, prevention, public perceptions of sexual abuse,
and social constructionism), as well as more traditional topics
(media, preventative and exceptional sentencing, resilience, and
work force development). The authors examine public and
professional engagement on sex offender management, and the
changing socio-political landscape of sexual offender management. A
bold and engaging volume, this edited collection will be of great
importance to scholars and practitioners interested in perceptions
of sexual offending.

The chapters provide an oversight of contemporary policies,

linkage, predictive policing, sexual offending across borders,
desistence, and public health approaches), as well as more
traditional topics (multi-agency working, risk assessment, sex
offender policies, and treatment). The authors examine how
professionals can use multi-agency approaches to prevent sexual
violence, and assessing the impact of desistance on framing sex
offender management. A bold and engaging volume, this edited
collection will be of great importance to scholars and
practitioners working reframing traditional approaches to sex
offender management in a contemporary fashion.
This book provides an up-to-date analysis of major issues in the
field of sexual abuse, both established and emerging, and asks how
we can develop the most evidence-based, fit-for-purpose approach in
responding to and preventing it. Sexual abuse is a
multi-disciplinary, international issue that exists at the
crossroads of theory, practice, and research. Therefore, the book
is future-facing and asks the reader to critically reflect upon
current and future research and practice, and to ask: what next? In
doing this the book examines the theory, research, and practice on
a range of topics including, grooming behaviors, risk management,
risk assessment, sexual fantasies, professional engagement, and
policy development. These, and other essential topics for effective
and efficient care for people who have committed sexual offenses,
are addressed as part of the ultimate goal to reduce and even
eliminate sexual victimization in the future.
