Desistance from Sexual OffendingWhat’s Next?

Desistance from Sexual Offending: What’s Next? [The final chapter situates the results of this work within the broader context of theory development, future research design, public policy, and clinical practice. Specifically, this includes a series of recommendations such as accepting desistance as a modal and natural outcome; changing our therapeutic emphasis from sexual deviance to general life skills and pursuing good lives; honoring the passage of time by considering conviction expiry dates and reducing risk scores over time; generating a tiered system that recognizes heterogeneity of people and behaviors; repealing the publicly available sex offender registry; and educating the public and the press on the empirical realities of sexual abuse. This final chapter summarizes the book’s findings and concludes with suggested directions for future work of this kind.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[The final chapter situates the results of this work within the broader context of theory development, future research design, public policy, and clinical practice. Specifically, this includes a series of recommendations such as accepting desistance as a modal and natural outcome; changing our therapeutic emphasis from sexual deviance to general life skills and pursuing good lives; honoring the passage of time by considering conviction expiry dates and reducing risk scores over time; generating a tiered system that recognizes heterogeneity of people and behaviors; repealing the publicly available sex offender registry; and educating the public and the press on the empirical realities of sexual abuse. This final chapter summarizes the book’s findings and concludes with suggested directions for future work of this kind.]
