Sexual deviance

Paternal depression during pregnancy causes increased incidence of psychiatric disorders, anxiety disorders, and impaired development of the child. Thus, considering the importance of psychological health of fathers in the psychological health of children, this study was conducted with the aim of examining the effect of paternal depression during pregnancy on the couple’s relationships and children’s health. In this narrative review, firstly, the related keywords was identified with using mesh (medical subject headings) and then search was carried out in electronic databases including google scholar and the more specifically in Magiran, SID, Pubmed, Web of Science, Scopus, Ovid, Science Direct And ProQuest. The keywords: depression, depression in pregnancy, father, child, mental health. The published related articles were extracted from 1983 till 2018. Overall 95 articles have been searched.

This book provides an analysis of the evolving BDSM scene in Central Europe, with an emphasis on selected post-communist countries. It explores how the region’s communist past delayed the development of BDSM communities and public discourse compared to Western Europe. Examining themes like mediatization, commodification, and globalization, the book traces the shift of sadomasochism from a criminalized and medicalized diagnosis to an accepted, consensual sexual practice.
Focusing on issues of law, consent, and societal norms, this book investigates the growing online BDSM communities and the rising demand for paid services, including the phenomenon of financial domination. By analyzing professional BDSM practices, the book addresses how criminal law intersects with consensual sadomasochism, highlighting the complexities of distinguishing between consensual and non-consensual acts in both legal and social contexts.
Using quantitative research, the book also presents data on societal attitudes toward BDSM in the Czech Republic, shedding light on the growing tolerance of consensual BDSM practices, even among university students. These findings are critical in understanding how legal frameworks and public perceptions influence the stigmatization or acceptance of BDSM within criminology.
As the first comprehensive criminological study of BDSM in Central Europe, this book offers a unique perspective on the intersection of sexual practices, law, and society.

Préfacé par ses deux co-directeurs (Manuel Boucher, Hervé Marchal) et postfacé par Michel Wieviorka, cet ouvrage sociologique est subdivisé en treize chapitres et séquencé autour de trois parties principales : « contrôler les déviances et délinquances de rue », « policer l’espace public » et « repolitiser la ville et ses espaces marginalisés ».

Through the investigation of a rich, qualitative dataset of 484 self-reported genital piercing stories, we significantly expand an understanding of the characteristics, motivations, experiences, and outcomes of persons with genital piercings. While many of our findings confirm and elaborate prior research, some of our findings also challenge this research. In particular, we find that contrary to the expectations of prior research, there is: (1) little evidence to support the frequently made claim that genital piercings are pathological and (2) little evidence to support the alternatively framed claim that genital piercings somehow offer resistance to traditional gender and sexual norms. Instead, we argue that, by and large, genital piercings are just another mainstream and fairly conventional type of body decoration and adornment.

Purpose Research into paedophilia mainly uses offender samples; thus, little is understood about non-offending paedophiles. The limited body of research has been conducted in North America or Europe whose health and legal systems differ from those in the UK. Using semi-structured interviews, the purpose of this study is to explore the experience of three non-offending British paedophilic males. Design/methodology/approach The interview discussed their paedophilia, refraining from offending and perspectives on treatment initiatives. Data were analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis. Findings Three superordinate themes emerged: “paedophilia as more than a sexuality,” “acceptance leads to management” and “barriers to support.” These encapsulated how paedophilia was understood, how accepting one’s sexual attraction is tantamount to well-being and the various obstacles to providing support were discussed. Research limitations/implications Acknowledging the sampling consid...

A fetish case is a case in which the perpetrator has sexual aberrations with body parts or an object (called a fetish) in order to get sexual stimulation and satisfaction. The perpetrator will be stimulated on a body part or an object which for some people is just a stimulus. The object will make the basis of fantasy and help romance but is not a substitute for more conventional sexual activities, fetishes that may be on body parts such as the buttocks of the eyes while on inanimate objects such as cloth, underwear, shoes, etc. this fetish is a form of sexual crossing which, if carried out continuously, can result in on going stress and disrupt the mental health of the perpetrator. The research method used in writing this journal is descriptive qualitative which is used to examine natural objects, by untilizing qualitative data and then sharing descriptively. The results of the analysis show that fetish behavior can affect mental health and can be cured by treatment in the form of sex education and Islamic therapy. Sex education is given, among others, about the ethics of asking permission to look at things, avoiding and various forms of sexual stimulation, provide lessons on how to protect yourself from despicable acts if you are not married, provide understanding and counseling related to the dangers of adultery. Meanwhile, Islamic therapy includes submission in prayer, but suggestions for self-introduction and self-authoritarian acts.

This paper describes one of the first systematic focused attempts to elicit the views of sexual offenders about the treatment that they have received. The paucity of previous research in this area is suggested to be the result of negative societal attitudes towards sexual offenders, as exemplified by recent tabloid newspaper coverage of this population. It is suggested that these attitudes may have a negative impact upon the attitudes of clinicians and researchers, and thus upon the treatment offered to this client group. Therefore, it is argued that seeking the views of the clients is essential in order to ensure that treatment is relevant and reflexive, and promotes relapse prevention. A questionnaire was distributed to participants who had completed treatment groups run by the Psychology Service at a Regional Secure Unit and at a Probation Service Sexual Offender Unit. The questionnaire aimed to elicit their views of the group experience, including issues to do with programme structure and content, group process, and therapeutic style of group facilitators. The results (including a pilot study) indicated that, on the whole, participants' experiences of the group were positive, for example aspects of the group process, understanding and preventing reoffending. Some suggestions for the modification and development of future sexual offender treatment are outlined, based on the feedback from subjects, for example, consideration of alternative treatment modalities, enhancing the content of group sessions, improving the organization of groups and modifying the training of groups leaders.

Kasus pelecehan di Indonesia semakin hari semakin meningkat dan sangat mengkhawatirkan. Terlebih akhir-akhir ini marak sekali pemberitaan mengenai pelecehan ini baik di media elektronik maupun media cetak, termasuk media sosial. Pelecehan merupakan tindakan atau perilaku yang merendahkan, menghina, atau mempermalukan seseorang serta termasuk sebagai suatu hal yang tidak pantas dalam tatanan norma sosial, norma agama dan moral. Sampai bulan ini, tercatat 22.000 kasus di Indonesia sejak awal tahun 2023 dengan 4.522 korban diantaranya adalah laki-laki dan 19.463 korban perempuan. Pelecehan seksual adalah segala bentuk tindakan atau perlakuan tidak menyenangkan yang mengarah pada hal-hal yang berbau seksual. Pelecehan seksual dapat terjadi secara verbal (dengan mengucapkan kata-kata bernuansa seksual seperti siulan atau kata-kata tidak senonoh), fisik (sentuhan yang mengarah ke perbuatan seksual seperti menepuk, mencubit, melirik, menatap penuh nafsu, mencium) dan nonfisik (pernyataan, gerak tubuh, atau aktivitas yang mengarah kepada seksualitas). Agama Islam melarang segala bentuk penindasan, kekerasan dan kejahatan, serta mengharamkan pelecehan seksual dengan segala bentuk dan atau melalui media apapun. Pelecehan seksual merupakan zina dan dalam ajaran agama Islam, diajarkan bahwa mendekati saja tidak boleh apalagi sampai melakukannya. Pelecehan seksual terjadi karena didorong oleh keinginan pelaku disertai kesempatan yang ada yang timbul dari rangsangan dari lawan jenis. Secara psikologi, pelecehan seksual tentu menimbulkan dampak yang tidak baik, terlebih pada korban. Korban dapat merasa ketakutan, marah, perasaan terhina, menurunnya harga diri dan kepercayaan diri, kecewa dan trauma mendalam, bahkan bisa sampai gangguan kejiwaan. Agama penting menjadi pondasi, pedoman serta pengontrol dalam kehidupan agar kehidupan menjadi terarah dan tidak terjerumus pada hal-hal yang tidak diinginkan, seperti halnya pelecehan seksual. Untuk menghindari hal itu, agama islam memberi aturan-aturan dalam kehidupan seperti etika berpakaian, sopan santun, dan ketentuan lainnya dalam pergaulan sosial. Agama islam mengajarkan untuk menundukkan atau menahan pandangan bagi laki-laki dan memelihara kemaluan atau menjaga kehormatan bagi perempuan. Saling menghargai dan menjauhi perkara yang menimbulkan syahwat serta memberi batasanbatasan aurat sebagai bentuk untuk menghindari pelecehan seksual. Dari uraian di atas dapat disimpulkan bahwa pelecehan seksual merupakan tindakan yang dzalim karena termasuk bentuk intimidasi atau penindasan. Untuk itu sudah semestinya kita berperan untuk menghentikan laju penambahan angka pelecehan seksual dimulai dengan diri sendiri seperti berpenampilan yang baik, menutup aurat dan tidak mengundang syahwat lawan jenis, menjaga perilaku dan pandai-pandai memilih teman atau lingkungan pergaulan, menghindari khalwat dan ikhtilat, serta kita sebagai seorang muslim khususnya selalu mengingat bahwa segala yang dilakukan akan

Sexual deviance or paraphilia constitute a social problem in our contemporary society. The concept implies the departure from socially accepted sexual behaviour. The raising and reported occurrence of the act among the youth is attributed to the decline of morality occasioned by modernism and social change. Despite its continued practices, paraphilia and sexual deviance among the youth have been given little attention by scholars. Arising from this, the paper is set to find out the knowledge of paraphilia and sexual deviant among the youth in Makurdi Town of Benue State, Nigeria. This study employed a cross-sectional survey design. In this study, the target population was the total population of all the youth in Makurdi town; in this case, a 240 sample size was used (that is population less than 10,000). The instrument for the research is a structured questionnaire. Only 215 of the questionnaires were returned for analysis using SPSS version 21, and the ethnographic method was used for quantitative data. The study found that the majority of the youth in the area were not aware that prostitution, exotic dance, topless barmaids, nudity, masturbation, sodomites, lesbianism, sex before marriage, touching someone's private part, sexually arouse to the point of erection in the presence of the fetish item, watching an unsuspecting person who is disrobing, and naked, wearing a dress that exposes private parts like the penis, vulvar among others, watching pornographic video are paraphilia or sexual deviant in the society. The only sexual activities known by the respondents as paraphilia and sexual deviant were homosexuality, rape, and having sex with a family member, sex outside the marriage.The study recommended among others psychotherapy, systematic desensitization, and organic recondition as the methods of treating paraphilia and sexual deviant among youth.

Child sexual abuse is a public health issue that has been associated with a variety of negative health outcomes. Child sexual abusers constitute a heterogeneous population of individuals. This review lays out an overview of the current understanding of typologies and psychological profiles of child sexual abusers. Typologies of child sexual abusers in general and online child sexual abusers are reviewed to summarise the existing knowledge. Psychological traits including personality traits, cognitive distortion, empathy, and impulsivity are examined to provide a wider perspective of the psycho-criminogenic factors of child sexual abuse. Although past research on child sexual abusers has provided insights into the organisation and classification of different types of child sexual abusers, the classification of these typologies has drawn widespread criticisms. In this review, we discuss the challenges and limitations pertaining to the existing typologies and studies related to the psyc...

Parades are public displays of identity, where the performances of diverse bodies and the phantasmagoric “body politic” do their thing in a complex, sometimes confounding choreography. Our queer parades were chaotic and joyful, powerful if fleeting moments of solidarity among all kinds of folks in our communities.
  “Before the Parade Passes By: Latino Queers and National Identity” considers the rolling theater of the parade as a starting point from which to discuss the rigid, exclusionary notions of national identities in what José Martí called “Our America.”  Dancing in the street, we went from objects of exclusion and derision to newly empowered subjects.
  Published in the early 1990s, “Before the Parade Passes By” is a tentative foray into this complex, rich territory.

There are five core objectives to this seminar. The objectives are to:
• Define exposure to social-sexual deviance as a psychological toxin.
• Understand the sequential injuries children incur from their exposure to social-sexual
  deviance.
• Understand the abuse process features that yield two distinctly different terror
  experiences within children.
• Understand the Emerick Scales within the Abel Assessment for sexual interests-3.

Intervention.

Background and Objective Paraphilia is one of the disorders without precise statistics in Iran. One of the most important sexual injuries is the lack of abilities and skills required in the sexual management of
children and adolescents. Paraphilic behavior, especially child sexual abuse, produces dire consequences in children and adolescents.
Materials & Method The research was done by searching in PubMed, CINAHL, Web of Science, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, Scopus, Magiran, and SID using the keywords of “sexual deviance,” “consequence,”
“victim,” “sexual education,” “child,” “adolescent,” “COVID-19,” and “reproductive and sexual health.”
Results The consequences of deviant behaviors of paraphilia in child and adolescent victims include various sexually transmitted diseases, unwanted pregnancy, obstetric complications, reluctance to marry and have children, posttraumatic stress syndrome, and sexual dysfunction. Preventive solutions include school-based sex education with the family-school-peer triangle, teaching parenting skills to parents, using family-centered sex education models, promoting sexual restraint in adolescents, monitoring the impact of the media on child sex education, paying attention to the early diagnosis of disorders, such as depression or anxiety in children and parents, avoiding destructive parenting styles, such as controlling
or banning extreme freedom and teaching life skills to children and adolescents.
Conclusion Considering the dreadful consequences of paraphilic behaviors in children and adolescent victims, there is a need for sexual education by taking preventive measures at the level of macro-policies in families, kindergartens, and schools through relevant experts, training child sex educators.

Although dynamic risk factors are considered important in the assessment and treatment of adult male sex offenders, little is known about their interrelationships. We apply network analysis to assess their associations and to provide an analysis of their shortest pathways to sexual and violent (including sexual contact) recidivism. Analyses revealed a central position for general rejection/loneliness (in all networks), poor cognitive problem solving (in networks containing sexual or violent—including sexual contact—recidivism), and impulsive acts (only in the network including sexual recidivism). These variables represented links between clusters of dynamic risk factors composed of factors relating to sexual self-regulation, emotionally intimate relationships, antisocial traits, and self-management. Impulsive acts showed the strongest independent association with sexual and violent (including sexual contact) recidivism.

The majority of the approximately 20,000 Swedish Jews are not immediately recognisable as Jews, and pass as ordinary Swedes. In this article, with inspiration from Critical Whiteness Studies, this invisibility is analysed in terms of whiteness. Critical Whiteness Studies argue that in postcolonial societies, such as Sweden, whiteness functions as a taken-for-granted norm that regulates who is regarded as white and Swedish. The aim of the article is to investigate the consequences of the norms of whiteness for Jewish life in contemporary Swedish society. From a large body of material on Jewish life in Sweden two interviews have been selected for analysis. The article argues that the practices of passing as white demand skills and knowledge about how and when it is suitable and adequate to expose or hide being Jewish. The interviewees find the category ‘Swedish’ far too limited to encapsulate Jewish life in all its forms. Their engagement in the practices of passing as white shows tha...

This research examines the influence of Emotional Congruence with Children and Compulsive Sexual Behavior towards Re-offend Prediction of Child Sexual Offenders. The research was conducted on 111 residents of correctional facilities for child sexual abuse in 5 correctional institutions in East Java, all of whom were males aged 18 to 81. The prediction of reoffending was assessed using an actuarial instrument, Static-2002 which was tested with Fleiss Kappa Inter-rater Reliability 89% (14 items). Emotional Congruence with Children was assessed by the adapted Emotional Congruence Scale of Children and Sex Questionnaire (EC-CSQ; 15 items, α = .88). Compulsive Sexual Behavior assessed by the Compulsive Sexual Behavior Inventory-13 (CSBI-13; 13 items, α = .85). The data was analyzed by using correlation and multivariate linear regression analysis. The research found that age and Compulsive Sexual Behavior, particularly Distress in Daily Functioning, significantly predicted reoffending amo...

The EPQ and a lifestyle questionnaire were completed by 77 members of the Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE), a self-help club for men who are sexually attracted to children. Compared with control males the paedophiles were significantly introverted and high on P and N. Examination of individual items revealed that PIE members were more likely to be shy, sensitive, lonely, depressed and humourless, but they were not particularly troubled by guilt, obsessionality or worry about their looks. Individual variations within the paedophile sample were also found. Those who were high on P and low on E were interested in younger children and were less able to contemplate sex with adults. Paedophiles high on N were less happy about their sexual preference and were more likely to have sought treatment.

Les pratiques de sexualite collective heterosexuelle, apprehendees par les (rares) femmes qui s’y engagent de facon independante, sont analysees a partir de la theorie des « scripts sexuels » (Gagnon & Simon). On decouvre les cadres de references culturels qu’elles mobilisent (ouvrages et films), la difficulte des interactions auxquelles elles sont conduites a participer (avec leurs eventuels compagnons ou accompagnateurs, les hommes seuls, les couples, et les autres femmes), et l’importance, souvent meconnue, de leur dimension incestuelle. Dans une perspective de socio-anthropologie de la deviance envisagee du cote des femmes qui s’auto-designent souvent comme « libertines », la recherche revele les difficultes et l’ambivalence des facons de traiter certaine part animale de la sexualite humaine, et la forte stigmatisation dont ces comportements font l’objet qui entraine des occultations considerables — y compris de la part des adeptes, qui n’en mesurent souvent pas bien l’ampleur l...

A partir du concept de dispositif de sexualité, Michel Foucault montre à quel point la société occidentale distingue le bien et le mal en fonction des attitudes et comportements sexuels. Si le terrain des luttes politiques est aujourd'hui investi par des personnes revendiquant une orientation sexuelle spécifique, et si ces personnes parviennent à faire reconnaître des droits en particulier lorsque ces orientations se développent dans le cadre d'une sexualité circonscrite au sein d'une relation strictement dyadique, il en va tout autrement pour des pratiques de sexualités collectives, qui semblent devoir demeurer dans l'ombre. A propos de sociétés inuits, où ces pratiques étaient fréquentes à l'aube du XX e siècle, Marcel Mauss a développé le concept de communisme sexuel. Celui-ci peut-il s'adapter aux relations qui se déroulent aujourd'hui, dans les pays occidentaux, entre les pratiquants de ces formes de sexualités hétérodoxes ? L'analyse des modalités selon lesquelles les adeptes se rencontrent et maintiennent ou non leurs relations permet au moins de comprendre les enjeux, les limites et les marges de manoeuvres de telles pratiques et de se demander dans quelle mesure cela peut entraîner la constitution d'une forme de communauté. L'analyse suivante retient trois axes déterminants de l'évolution des sociétés occidentales contemporaines : 1/ le développement de l'individualisme et l'émancipation des femmes, 2/ celui des moyens de communication, 3/ celui des échanges monétaires. La clandestinité des pratiques est de mise mais les agents sociaux concernés n'en participent pas moins à l'élaboration d'éthiques sexuelles ou affectivosexuelles alternatives, en marge mais non sans lien avec la morale dominante, un peu comme au sein des gangs de Chicago dont Frederic M. Thrasher analysait le développement à l'époque de la Prohibition dans les espaces interstitiels de sociétés en mutation.

Abstract: Attitudes toward victimless deviance, predominantly drug use and various sexual behaviors, are explored using data from forty-nine semi-structured in-depth interviews with participants from various social and cultural backgrounds. The central question addressed is why people oppose these behaviors. The study explores perceptions of the nature and the consequences of these behaviors and the normative principles based on which people form opinions of opposition. The results support that opposition to victimless deviance is structured based on three normative principles: the libertarian principle (opposing harm to others), the paternalistic principle (opposing harm to self), and the moralistic principle (opposing harmless wrongdoing). Arguments justifying these oppositions are presented in a classification of opposition justifications. Particular emphasis is given to moralistic oppositions.

This bachelor thesis focuses on the topic of sex in the selected works of American authors J.D. Salinger and Tennessee Williams, and immigrants - Charles Bukowski and Vladimir Nabokov. Firstly, two concepts of sexuality and its development are described in the American post-war period and in the immigrant literature. Secondly follows the analysis of selected works in terms of sexual topics and thirdly, the thesis results in the comparison of American and European perceptions of sex. The conclusion of the whole thesis reveals that the view of sex differs considerably among the selected authors and that they were influenced by their place of origin.

takas revealed themselves as imperfect, yet forgiving of their mistakes; sometimes confused and vulnerable, yet always willing to learn and grow. It is from such openness that we can all learn to better handle our failures, to become more accepting of our limitations, and to become more skilled in future interventions. We gratefully acknowledge the many therapists and stu dents who so willingly and poignantly shared their vulnerabili ties with us. We especially appreciate the confidence and expert guidance of Gracia Alkema, our editor at Jossey-Bass. We are indebted to Albert Ellis, Barbara Okun, and Will Kouw, who reviewed the manuscript and helped shape the final form of this book. Finally, we would like to express our gratitude to our spouses, Ellen Kottler and Larry Blau, for their wholehearted encouragement and support throughout this project.

with signs of increased anxiety, but more often Situations requiring novel responses or greater levels of autonomy than a person with mental retardation (MR) is comfortable with can set the stage for a developmental crisis and precipitate an Adjustment Disorder, Delayed or Post-traumatic Stress Disorder, or major psychiatric disorder, with resulting mental health consultation. Major psychiatric disorders must not only be sought for in the diagnostic process, but must also be ruled out when the phenomena displayed do not meet DSM-IV diagnostic criteria. Knowledge of the events in the lives of persons with MR that can precipitate a crisis and a mental health consultation can lead to accurate diagnosis and point to therapeutic resolution. Adjustment Disorders, Delayed or Post-traumatic Stress Disorders cannot be successfully treated unless the precipitating environmental stressor is relieved. Acute episodes of major psychiatric disorders, no matter how appropriate and well-tolerated the pharmacotherapeutic and psychotherapeutic interventions, cannot be wholly resolved without resolution of a precipitating developmental crisis. When recognized, sources of developmental crises can be defused and future episodes anticipated and prevented.

Cet article aborde l'échangisme, une sphère particulièrement florissante et lucrative du commerce du sexe qui se développe aujourd'hui, pour une clientèle hétérosexuelle, de manière parallèle au commerce gay et à la transformation de la prostitution de rue. Il synthétise une étude de quatre années au cours de laquelle les chercheur-e-s ont mis en place la prévention du sida dans ce milieu particulier, longtemps oublié par les associations. Combinatoire d'espaces, de temps et de pratiques différents, avec une importante population d'hommes seuls (50 % des petites annonces), l'échangisme donne à voir, dans les couples, des initiatives très majoritairement masculines et des pressions pour que les femmes cèdent ou consentent à une multisexualité fortement influencée par la pornographie. Quant aux hommes seuls, souvent anciens clients de prostituées, ils manifestent une forte adhésion aux stéréotypes de genre. L'analyse en termes de rapports sociaux de sexe met l'accent sur les négociations entre hommes et femmes et les arrangements conjugaux. Ceux-ci interrogent les évolutions familiales dans lesquelles les rapports à la sexualité se diversifient, mais où la sexualité elle-même, marquée par la domination masculine, est enjeu de débats qui ne s'originent pas que dans la sphère sexuelle.

According to the Good Lives Model (Ward, 2002) it is imperative that offenders in rehabilitation recognize which life goals are important to them and how they can achieve a ‘good life.’ Including the evaluation of life goals in treatment can be beneficial not only for the individuals being treated but for the community into which they are transitioning. Seventy-six male, residential offenders were assessed on type and perception of life goals during semi-structured interviews. They also completed a personality inventory, locus of control scale, and self-esteem scale. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses for types of goals and perception of goals were conducted to examine the hypothesized predictions. Results indicate that higher levels of openness and an internal locus of control predicted the presence of personal growth goals, and emotional stability is the strongest predictor of positive goal perception for this offender sample. Findings from this study have implications for ...

Adult men’s height reflects, not only their genetic endowment, but also the conditions that were present during their development in utero and in childhood. We compared the adult heights of men who committed one or more sexual offenses and who were erotically interested in prepubescent children (pedophilic sexual offenders; n = 223), those who were erotically interested in pubescent children (hebephilic sexual offenders; n = 615), and those who were erotically interested in adults (teleiophilic sexual offenders; n = 187), as well as men who had no known sexual offenses and who were erotically interested in adults (teleiophilic nonoffender controls; n = 156). The pedophilic and the hebephilic sexual offenders were significantly shorter than the teleiophilic nonoffender controls. The teleiophilic sexual offenders were intermediate in height between the nonoffenders and the pedophilic and hebephilic sexual offenders and not significantly different from any of the other groups. This sug...

Correlations are the simplest and most commonly understood effect size statistic in psychology. The purpose of the current paper was to use a large sample of real-world data (109 correlations with 60,415 participants) to illustrate the base rate dependence of correlations when applied to dichotomous or ordinal data. Specifically, we examined the influence of the base rate on different effect size metrics. Correlations decreased when the dichotomous variable did not have a 50 % base rate. The higher the deviation from a 50 % base rate, the smaller the observed Pearson's point-biserial and Kendall's tau correlation coefficients. In contrast, the relationship between base rate deviations and the more commonly proposed alternatives (i.e., polychoric correlation coefficients, AUCs, Pearson/Thorndike adjusted correlations, and Cohen's d) were less remarkable, with AUCs being most robust to attenuation due to base rates. In other words, the base rate makes a marked difference in the magnitude of the correlation. As such, when using dichotomous data, the correlation may be more sensitive to base rates than is optimal for the researcher's goals. Given the magnitude of the association between the base rate and point-biserial correlations (r = −.81) and Kendall's tau (r = −.80), we recommend that AUCs, Pearson/Thorndike adjusted correlations, Cohen's d, or polychoric correlations should be considered as alternate effect size statistics in many contexts.

This study investigates the relationship between engagement, denial, and treatment progress among a sample of 61 male sex offenders in outpatient group therapy. Three hypotheses were posed: (1) that denial is inversely related to engagement in group therapy; (2) that denial is inversely related to treatment progress, and (3) that engagement is correlated with treatment progress. Results revealed a strong correlation between engagement in group therapy, measured by the Group Engagement Measure, and sex offender treatment progress, assessed by the Sex Offender Treatment Rating Scale. Denial, measured by the Facets of Sexual Offender Denial Scale, demonstrated a strong inverse relationship to treatment progress. Engagement and denial were also strongly inversely related. Together, engagement and denial explained a significant amount of the variance in treatment progress. The findings provide support for current standards of practice that maintain that admitting to a sex crime is a nece...

As Internet accessibility and use increase dramatically, more and more people are turning to it for sexual purposes. This growing use of the Internet for sexual purposes indicates that the proportion of Internet sexual offences also will continue to rise dramatically. This article examines the impact of Internet problematic behaviours on the potential for recidivism among online sexual offenders. It argues for specialised treatment for these offenders whilst providing an overview of approaches that are currently used in other areas to treat problematic behaviours and how they could be used in the treatment of Internet sexual offenders.

The current study reports on the development of a self-report measure of disclosure strategies in adult male prisoners (violent and acquisitive offences) and its association with personality and self-esteem. Design: The study employed an adapted version of the Delphi technique to develop initial items for inclusion in the new disclosure measure (Disclosure Management Questionnaire: DMQ). This element of the study utilised an 'expert sample' of Forensic Psychologists. Ninety four prisoners then completed the developed measure. Factor analysis was utilised to explore the structure of the measure, which subsequently allowed associations between disclosure strategies, personality and self-esteem to be identified. Findings: Analysis revealed a measure of disclosure (the DMQ) comprising of four subscales; Exploratory Engagement, Placatory/Evasive Engagement, Passive Resistance and Active Resistance. Significant correlations were identified between the personality trait Neuroticism and higher levels of Placatory/ Evasive Engagement and Active Resistance of forensic clients during the disclosure process. Self-esteem was also found to correlate with disclosure, in that high trait self-esteem was found to be associated with higher exploratory engagement, whereas low trait self-esteem was associated with higher levels of active resistance of the disclosure process. Value: Developing an understanding of the nature and function of disclosure and how these relate to individual factors such as personality (including trait self-esteem) provides valuable knowledge and alternative ways of supporting forensic clients in discussing difficult issues related to their offending.

This study compared levels of emotional loneliness between sexual murderers and rapists who had not gone on to kill their victim/s. All participants were life-sentenced prisoners in the United Kingdom. Assessment consisted of a semistructured interview and was subjected to grounded theory analysis. This approach is defined as the breaking down, naming, comparing, and categorizing of data. As such, it is distinguished from other qualitative methods by the process of constant comparison. This continual sifting and comparing elements assists in promoting conceptual and theoretical development. The results of this process found that sexual murderers, compared to rapists, reported significantly higher levels of grievance towards females in childhood, significantly higher levels of peer group loneliness in adolescence, and significantly higher levels of self as victim in adulthood.
