Addressing prevalent myths and misconceptions surrounding sexual offending, this comprehensive book delves into the current state of scientific knowledge regarding the origins and development of such behavior. It provides a critical evaluation of current criminal justice policies, spanning nearly a century of research aimed at improving these policies through theoretically grounded and methodologically rigorous methodologies.
Focusing on proactive prevention-oriented strategies, this book revisits popular notions about sexual offending through an evidence-based lens, challenging ideological and populist discourse that has resulted in ineffective and reactive policies. It advocates for a clear and well-defined concept of sexual offending to serve as a foundation for research and treatment. Uniquely, authors approach sexual offending from the perspectives of criminal justice research and practitioners, incorporating the sociohistorical construction of sexual offending as a social problem, developmental life course research, and the impact of social policies. This book serves as a fervent call for more proactive research on the origins and development of sexual offending throughout an individual's life course.
