Contemporary Sex Offender Risk Management, Volume IIOnline Sex Offending and Risk Management

Contemporary Sex Offender Risk Management, Volume II: Online Sex Offending and Risk Management [Investigations, arrests, and convictions for online sex offending have risen exponentially in recent years, creating new challenges and demands at all stages of the criminal justice system. The most prevalent issue for psychological assessment concerns the reliability and validity of an assessment of risk of reoffending, both within online and offline spaces. The chapter will review the current knowledge on different types of online sex offending behaviour, including use of child sexual exploitation material, online solicitation behaviour, and use of the Internet for international perpetrators of sexual abuse, with a particular focus on young offenders. A key consideration is the availability and use of specific risk assessment/management tools in relation to risk appraisal and case prioritisation. A second key consideration is the online environment and its role as a potential facilitator of offending behaviour. The chapter will explore how these findings inform future treatment and prevention approaches.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[Investigations, arrests, and convictions for online sex offending have risen exponentially in recent years, creating new challenges and demands at all stages of the criminal justice system. The most prevalent issue for psychological assessment concerns the reliability and validity of an assessment of risk of reoffending, both within online and offline spaces. The chapter will review the current knowledge on different types of online sex offending behaviour, including use of child sexual exploitation material, online solicitation behaviour, and use of the Internet for international perpetrators of sexual abuse, with a particular focus on young offenders. A key consideration is the availability and use of specific risk assessment/management tools in relation to risk appraisal and case prioritisation. A second key consideration is the online environment and its role as a potential facilitator of offending behaviour. The chapter will explore how these findings inform future treatment and prevention approaches.]
