This comprehensive book delves into the intricate relationship between sexual crime and intellectual functioning, drawing upon expertise from clinical practice and applied research. It begins by providing a theoretical and historical background to the exploration of links between sexual offending and intellectual functioning, setting the stage for the subsequent chapters. The authors then delve into the assessment of intellectual functioning within prison settings, discussing interventions tailored to individuals with low intellectual functioning, as well as the unique challenges posed by individuals on the autistic spectrum and those with personality disorders.
What sets this book apart is its unique focus on the phenomenon of high IQ and sexual offending, a topic that has been largely neglected in the field of sexual crime literature. The authors conduct novel research that sheds light on this connection, offering valuable insights into the complexities of this relationship. Furthermore, the book provides an extraordinary firsthand account of the experiences of a person of superior IQ who has navigated the criminal justice system for a sexual offense.
This book is of immense relevance to psychologists, criminologists, social workers, students, practitioners, researchers, and the general public alike. It offers a wealth of information and insights into sexual offending and intellectual functioning, fostering a deeper understanding of these complex issues. By exploring the intersections of psychology, criminology, and social science, this book contributes to the development of effective strategies for addressing sexual crime and promoting the well-being of individuals with intellectual disabilities.
