Desistance from Sexual OffendingIntroduction

Desistance from Sexual Offending: Introduction [The first chapter introduces the topic of desistance and establishes its practical relevance for the clinical practice of sex offending treatment and management and the related areas of legislative and policy development. It reviews the recent research on sex offending samples which so far concludes that, as a population, recidivism rates are fairly low and desistance is actually the modal outcome of release from custody. The introduction also makes the point that men convicted of sexual offenses appear to be desisting in spite of a range of obstacles that generic offenders simply do not face. The first chapter then details a series of objectives for the book and provides an overview of its layout and contents.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[The first chapter introduces the topic of desistance and establishes its practical relevance for the clinical practice of sex offending treatment and management and the related areas of legislative and policy development. It reviews the recent research on sex offending samples which so far concludes that, as a population, recidivism rates are fairly low and desistance is actually the modal outcome of release from custody. The introduction also makes the point that men convicted of sexual offenses appear to be desisting in spite of a range of obstacles that generic offenders simply do not face. The first chapter then details a series of objectives for the book and provides an overview of its layout and contents.]
