(1997). Pedophilia consists of a sexual preference for children that may or may not lead to child sexual abuse (e.g., viewing child pornography), whereas child sexual abuse involves sexual contact with a child that may or may not be due to pedophilia(Camilleri & Quinsey, 2008). Similar to crossover findings, studies have shown that few sexual offenders "specialize" in sexual offending (Harris, Mazerolle & Knight, 2009; Lussier, Proulx & LeBlanc, 2005). Journal of Family Violence, 24,183191. With respect to childhood violence, both indiscriminate offenders and rapists described childhood experiences consistent with physical and emotional abuse.

There are a number of typologies and classification systems described in the scholarly literature. In addition, their victim selection is based solely upon personal preference. Sexual violence remains a serious social problem with devastating consequences. Most of these typologies imply that victimization (i.e., who is a potential victim) is linked to the specific type of sexual offender (e.g., rapists sexually assault adults/peers, child sexual abusers sexually assault children). 0000004052 00000 n Over time they gradually lower the child victims sexual inhibitions until they are willing to engage in sexual behaviour because of the benefits that they are receiving. You know what it looks like but what is it called? Using polygraph testing combined with treatment, Heil, Ahlmeyer and Simons (2003) examined offense patterns of 223 incarcerated and 266 paroled sex offenders. Recently, additional typologies have been added to describe female offenders who sexually assault adult or postpubescent females (Vandiver & Kercher, 2004). The cynical type comprised 35 percent of the cases. Specifically, SRM pathways have been shown to differentiate offense characteristics and static and dynamic risk. American Psychiatric Association. (2007) attributed the low prevalence of crossover to the use of official records. Saunders Company. Similar to indiscriminate offenders (of both genders), the majority of female sexual offenders report both violent and sexualized childhoods (Heil, Simons & Burton, 2010). The word in the example sentence does not match the entry word. This group includes those who never exhibited sexual problems until they began using the internet (Delmonico & Griffin, 2008).

This group was equally as likely to commit rape as child sexual abuse. ),Psychiatric Clinics of North America, 15 (pp. The preferential molester is primarily attracted to children andare the most dangerous category ofchild molester. The most important distinction among child sexual abusers is whether they are pedophilic or nonpedophilic, because pedophilia has been shown to be a strong predictor of sexual recidivism (Hanson & Bussiere, 1998). Levenson, J. S. & Socia, K. M. (2016). These examples are from corpora and from sources on the web. High-rate limited offenders (24 percent) exhibited an earlier age of onset and offended most frequently (average twice per year) during their late 20s. incapacitation depriving offenders of the ability to commit additional crime, usually through imprisonment. Logan, C. (2008). Such offenders usually do not have a genuine sexual interest in children, but may molest them for a number of often complex reasons. The assessment of developmental risk factors is important to determine the criminogenic needs of the individual offender; the assessment also contributes to static predicting (Craissati & Beech, 2006). (1991). In contrast, the childhood histories of rapists appear more indicative of violence. Of the repeated offenders, 21 percent offended against victims of both genders; 40 percent victimized a combination of adults, adolescents and children; and 48 percent assaulted victims from multiple relationships. This type of molester is categorized as without conscience and engages in other types of abuse, as well as sexual abuse. Changes after publication may affect the accuracy of this information. Post-release specialization and versatility in sexual offenders referred for civil commitment. Such an individual may perceive that the victim has shown a sexual interest in him, or that by the use of force the victim will grow to like him (Craissati, 2005). For example, Cortoni and Hanson (2005) found a female sexual recidivism rate of 1 percent over a five-year average follow-up period with a sample of 380 females. not confident enough to deal with a situation: According to researchers, childhood adversities may result in the failure to establish secure attachment bonds to parents (Cicchetti & Lynch, 1995). Moreover, classification as a fixated offender has been found to significantly discriminate between recidivists and non-recidivists in samples of child molesters (Prentky et al., 1997). inadequate definition: 1. not good enough or too low in quality: 2. too small in amount: 3. not confident enough to deal. Twelve percent of cases were categorized as sex-focused. Bradford (Ed. Yet the most evident distinction between male and female offenders is that female offenders are more likely to sexually assault with another person or group (i.e., co-offenders). One study showed that male child sexual abusers who assault males are twice as likely to recidivate in comparison to offenders who abuse females (Quinsey, 1986). The actual sexual offense combined with cognitive distortions serves to maintain sexual offending behaviors. Individuals download pornographic pictures of children to aid arousal and masturbation, as a collecting activity, as a way of facilitating social relationships and as a substitute for child sexual contact (Quayle & Taylor, 2003).

Understanding male sexual offending: A comparison of general and specialist theories. Although the implicit assumptions about sexual offenders are that they engage in distinct types of crimes and differ significantly from nonsexual offenders, some sexual offenders have been shown to be more versatile in their criminal behaviors and to share attributes with nonsexual offenders. Add inadequate to one of your lists below, or create a new one. (1991). The role of attachments, intimacy, and loneliness in the etiology and maintenance of sexual offending. Studies have reported prevalence rates from 32 to as high as 64 percent; the majority of studies found rates in the range of 50 to 60 percent (Abel & Osborn, 1992; English et al., 2000; Heil, Ahlmeyer & Simons, 2003; O'Connell, 1998; Wilcox et al., 2005). &{e+5N,y]Li:j_V#P_EB@Z0B$@F@5GD?

Female sexual offenders reported more extensive offense patterns (i.e., number of victims and offenses, crossover offending) than otherwise indicated by their criminal history. 0000000676 00000 n Thankfully such offenders are rare. Overall, traditional typologies have demonstrated considerable problems, as indicated by inadequate definitions and inconsistent research findings. The majority of offenders who assault males have also assaulted females (6392 percent), but not the reverse (2337 percent).

Although crossover findings have been reported in numerous studies using different methodologies, some suggest that the prevalence of age crossover or multiple paraphilias is overstated, particularly in studies that use polygraph testing. However, classifying sexual offenders has been shown to be problematic. (1989). Etiological research has suggested that it is the interaction of biological and social learning factors that influences the development of sexual offending behaviors (Ward & Beech, 2008). Knight, R.A., & Prentky, R.A. (1990). A path analytic approach to the validation of a taxonomic system for classifying child molesters. Within the adult sex offender population, Simons, Wurtele and Durham (2004) found that child sexual abusers, as compared to rapists, reported more experiences of child sexual abuse, early exposure to pornography, sexual activities with animals and an earlier onset of masturbation. This is the most dangerous type ofchild offender. endstream endobj 78 0 obj<> endobj 79 0 obj<>stream Those who did specialize in sexual crimes were more likely to exhibit characteristics similar to child sexual abusers, such as sexual deviance and sexual preoccupation. Marshall (1993) contends that the failure of sex offenders to develop secure attachment bonds in childhood results in their failure to develop sufficient social skills and self-esteem necessary to achieve intimacy with adults. In comparison to the general population, incarcerated sexual offenders were more than three times as likely to report sexual abuse during childhood, two times as likely to experience physical abuse, 13 times as likely to experience emotional abuse and more than four times as likely to experience neglect (Levenson, Willis & Prescott, 2016). The sample consisted of volunteers and the majority reported hands-on offenses prior to internet pornography use. Counseling adult sexual offenders: Unique challenges and treatment paradigms. According to self-regulation theory, the goal of engaging in sexually deviant behavior and the strategies employed to reach that goal become automatically integrated into the behavior of the offender because they have been consistently reinforced in the past (Ward & Hudson, 1998). The second group is composed of individuals who access or trade pornography to fuel their sexual interest in children (Beech et al., 2008). 0000000016 00000 n Child Abuse & Neglect, 26,7392. A recent qualitative typology was proposed by Tener, Wolak and Finkelhhor (2015), identifying four types of internet offenders who use online communications to commit sex crimes against minors. These are the Massachusetts Treatment Center: Child Molester Typology (Version 3; MTC:CM3; Knight et al. Yates, P.M., & Kingston, D.A. Unlike expert and cynical offenders,attention-focusedoffenders meet victims online with the intention of developing a genuine relationship. Pornography is seldom involved in these cases. Camilleri, J.A., & Quinsey, V.L. Those offences towards the situational end of the continuum are thought to reflect basic sexual needs such as lust, or non-sexual needs such as power or anger. Child Abuse & Neglect, 32,549560. Bickley, J.A., & Beech, A.R. 4The use of polygraphs is controversial. This knowledge can be very useful in preparing interview strategies, conducting risk assessments, and formulating treatment and management plans. This section reviews the evidence of crossover offending, which challenges the validity of traditional sex offender typologies (those that are based on a known victim type). New York: Guilford Press. (1981). Allen, C. (1991). Offense patterns disclosed during treatment with polygraph testing revealed similar findings to those of male offenders. (A meta-analysis combines the results of many evaluations into one large study with many subjects.) If threats or physical violence are used they are likely to be instrumental in nature and are made to avoid identification or disclosure. Characteristics of aggressors against women: Testing a model using a national sample of college students. Characteristics of perpetrators of child sexual abuse who have been sexually victimized as children. In contrast, stranger rapists are more hostile and use more expressive violence (i.e., inflicting pain or injury as the goal itself) toward women (Polaschek, Ward & Hudson, 1997). Their goal is to offend and they carefully plan their offenses by establishing relationships with their victims. Meta-analysis results indicate that juveniles who commit sexual offenses were more likely than non-sex offenders to have been exposed to sexual violence, sexual abuse, emotional abuse and neglect (Jespersen, Lalumiere & Seto, 2009). 2 (pp. Ward, T., & Hudson, S.M. In studies that examined the developmental risk factors of crossover offenders or indiscriminate offenders (e.g., Heil & Simons, 2008; Simons, Tyler & Heil, 2005), findings indicate that indiscriminate offenders report childhood histories of both violence and heightened sexuality. For these individuals, the internet facilitates an extension of an already-existing pattern of sexual deviance (Delmonico & Griffin, 2008). Sexual offenders exhibit heterogeneous characteristics, yet they present with similar clinical problems or criminogenic needs (e.g., emotional regulation deficits, social difficulties, offense supportive beliefs, empathy deficits and deviant arousal); the degree to which these clinical issues are evident varies among individual offenders (Gannon, Terriere & Leader, 2012; Ward & Gannon, 2006). They are more likely than other female offenders to display symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (a serious psychological condition that occurs as a result of experiencing a traumatic event) (Foa, Keane & Friedman, 2000) and depression. When adolescents were excluded completely, only 5 percent of offenders crossed over from child to adult victim, which suggests examining crossover offending using broad categories of adult and child results in an underestimation of age crossover. They sexually assault multiple victims (often hundreds) without emotional attachment; the expert type may offend alone or collaborate with others to acquire victims and/or to share porn. Acknowledgement Rice, M.E., & Harris, G.T. The Psychology of Criminal Conduct,3d ed. With respect to gender crossover (i.e., victimizing both males and females), findings have been relatively consistent and range from 20 to 43 percent (Abel & Osborn, 1992; Elliott, Browne & Kilcoyne, 1995; English et al., 2000; Heil, Ahlmeyer & Simons, 2003). Researchers explain that genetic factors may predispose an individual to pursue a specific human need (e.g., sex or intimacy), but it is the environmental experiences that provide the methods through which these needs are met either appropriately through the development of relationships or inappropriately through the use of violence (Ward & Beech, 2008). Three in particular appear to be especially useful for clinical and applied purposes. Four rules should guide any analysis of criminal conviction enhancements: 1. Criminal Justice and Behavior, 36,10511069. These developmental factors interact with disinhibiting factors (e.g., intoxication, stress, negative affect) and the presence of a potential victim to impair an individual's ability to control their behaviors, which in turn may result in a sexual offense.

As Lussier, Proulx and LeBlanc (2005) found, the specialist model was evident in child sexual abusers. The origins of sexual offending. Children are chosen due to their availability. Similar to male offenders, females report engaging in bestiality during adolescence, but the prevalence rates for females are significantly lower than for child sexual abusers and indiscriminate offenders of both genders. Although not considered a classification system due to the dynamic nature of the offense pathways, the self-regulation model (SRM) was reviewed due to its clinical utility and relationship to risk. Criminal Justice and Behavior, 38,188209. 2Hanson and Bussiere (1998) conducted a meta-analysis based on 61 studies for a total sample of 28,972 sexual offenders. They are based on clusters of behaviors and psychological processes to account for the heterogeneity of offending. Sexual abuse: A Journal of Research and Treatment, 27,258283. The typology was derived from 75 case narratives described by law enforcement of offenders who met victims online or knew them and used the internet for communication. This type of offender was convicted or plead guilty to a sexual offensebut not categorized as a sexual predator or habitual sex offender. ),Child Sexual Abuse and the Internet: Tackling the New Frontier(pp. Similar to rapists, generalist (versatile) offenders resemble violent nonsexual offenders (Craissati, 2005; Langstrom, Sjostedt & Grann, 2004; Simon, 2000).

Indeed, this heterogeneity challenges effective risk management and treatment of offenders (Martinez-Catena, Redondo, Frerich & Beech, 2016). New York: Guilford Press. According to this model,sexual offenders may be characterized as specialists who commit sexual crimes persistently or as generalists who do not restrict themselves to one type of crime; they commit different crimes over time(Lussier, 2005). <]>> ),RemakingRelapsePreventionWithSexOffenders: ASourcebook(pp. The majority of fixated child sexual abusers are individuals who sexually assault male children who are not related; regressed child sexual abusers often consist of incest offenders or offenders who sexually assault female adolescents (Priest & Smith, 1992).

This individual sexually assaults for retaliatory reasons and often degrades or humiliates the victim. Recent models of the sexual offense process have been devised to include etiological theories of sexual offending and treatment-relevant factors. Laws & W.T. Simons, Wurtele and Durham (2004) found that rapists, when compared to child sexual abusers, reported more frequent experiences of physical abuse, parental violence, emotional abuse and cruelty to animals. 322355). Studies are more likely to find a relationship if age crossover is examined. The fourth type is the sadistic rapist, who reenacts sexual fantasies involving torture or pain. Differences between male and female sexual offenders are identified in the literature. Likewise, in their recent meta-analysis comparing intrafamilial to extrafamilial offenders, Seto et al. Ward, T., Yates, P.M., & Willis, G.M. Adverse childhood experiences and arrest patterns in a sample of sexual offenders. A sexual offender's insecure attachment style during childhood affects the development of social skills and self-confidence, which in turn, prevents initiation or maintenance of intimate relationships during adulthood. (2003). Two groups (low-rate and high-rate limited) offended at an earlier age than the other groups (low-rate persistent and high-rate persistent). Accordingly, analysis of offence behaviours becomes a crucial source of data. Such offenders may simultaneously abuse multiple victims. 's (2008) meta-analytic review of 89 studies indicates child sexual abusers have fewer externalizing behaviors compared to rapists. More recent studies have shown that mixed-gender child sexual abusers reported the highest number of victims (Cann, Friendship & Gozna, 2007; Stephens, Seto, Goodwill & Cantor, 2016), offenses (Simons & Tyler, 2010) and the highest rates of risk for reoffense (Abel et al., 1988; Kleban, Chesin, Jeglic & Mercado, 2013). Journal of Interpersonal Violence, 6,323336. Hudson, & T. Ward (Eds. Based on polygraph testing, these co-offenses were seldom coercive and the majority of women sexually assaulted alone either before or after the co-offense. Not all individuals who sexually assault children are pedophiles. The internet has been used as a vehicle for child sexual abuse in at least three ways: viewing pornographic images of children, sharing pornographic images of children and luring or procuring child victims online (Robertiello & Terry, 2007). In addition, it is not known if these offenders are pedophiles and whether they view pornographic images more than the general population (Quayle, 2004). 2636). However, resource scarcity within the criminal justice system continues to impede the battle against sexual violence. Although it has been reported in only 5 percent of rapists (see Craissati, 2005, for a review), sexual sadism has consistently been shown as a strong predictor of both sexual and violent recidivism (Hanson & Morton-Bourgon, 2005). ),Family Sexual Abuse: Frontline Research and Evaluation(pp. All Rights Reserved.

Both incarcerated offenders (30 percent) and those in the community (21 percent) disclosed relationship crossover (i.e., offending against individuals from more than one relationship). Sexual offenders (the majority of rapists and a subset of child sexual abusers) have demonstrated substance abuse and relationship problems, antisocial behavior in adolescence, employment instability and evidence of psychopathy (Harris, Mazerolle & Knight, 2009; Lussier, Proulx & LeBlanc, 2005). Similar findings were reported among 47 female sexual offenders assessed on a childhood experiences measure by Levenson, Willis and Prescott (2015).
