Responding to Sexual Offending: Risky Business? Supporting Desistance from Sexual Offending [The aim of this chapter is twofold: to scope out some of the implications of desistance research for the community management of sexual offenders in the current UK policy and practice context and to identify what works (and why and how) in controlling and/or changing offending behaviour, drawing on the views and experiences of what Wood and Kerns hall (2007) term ‘MAPPA-eligible offenders’, in this instance, high-risk sex offenders. Recognizing the limited empirical research on desistance from sexual offending, this chapter begins by outlining the principal themes emerging from desistance research in general, through which lens studies examining desistance from sexual offending are discussed.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[The aim of this chapter is twofold: to scope out some of the implications of desistance research for the community management of sexual offenders in the current UK policy and practice context and to identify what works (and why and how) in controlling and/or changing offending behaviour, drawing on the views and experiences of what Wood and Kerns hall (2007) term ‘MAPPA-eligible offenders’, in this instance, high-risk sex offenders. Recognizing the limited empirical research on desistance from sexual offending, this chapter begins by outlining the principal themes emerging from desistance research in general, through which lens studies examining desistance from sexual offending are discussed.]
