First and foremost, the dominating response in regards to high ratings of difficulties in noncompleted offences was woman resistance. Second, intoxication was reported by participants to justify both high risk and the absence of risk during their offending. Third, participants who perceived no risk and completed a sexual offence against a woman further indicated, in almost half the cases, that they thought (or assumed) the woman had given her consent initially. Fourth, very few participants referred to environmental conditions when assessing the risks and difficulties of committing an offence. Lastly, the results are discussed in light of considerations for crime prevention.","PeriodicalId":21828,"journal":{"name":"Sexual Abuse: A Journal of Research and Treatment","volume":" ","pages":"10790632261470420"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148550271","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consequently, how MAPs deal with this fear is an important question that needs to be addressed. In this study, 299 male MAPs were recruited online to examine how the reliance on different coping strategies impacts their fear of engaging in sexual behaviors with minors. In study 1, binary logistic regression analyses revealed that waiting for the fear to pass on its own, substance use, and masturbation to sexual fantasies involving children are associated with the fear of offending. Impulsivity also played a role in heightening the fear of offending. In study 2, latent class analysis of the intensity of sexual fantasies identified three groups. In each of these three groups, the association between hypersexuality and participants' fear of engaging in sexual behaviors with minors was analyzed. Results indicated that MAPs with the highest intensity and diversity of sexual fantasies were the most susceptible to not only fear of engaging in sexual behaviors with minors but also, to rely on inappropriate coping strategies. These findings highlight the necessity of understanding sexual attraction toward minors within a broader context of polymorphic sexual interests.","PeriodicalId":21828,"journal":{"name":"Sexual Abuse: A Journal of Research and Treatment","volume":" ","pages":"420-446"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13083823/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145918289","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We evaluated the predictive ability of the Sexual Child Molestation Risk Assessment (SChiMRA+), a self-report scale that assesses current motivation to act on sexual urges toward children (Part A) and captures past-week sexual behaviors toward children (Part B). Longitudinal data from two clinical trials aiming to reduce sexual behaviors toward children were analyzed; Priotab (testosterone-lowering medication; n = 52 men with pedophilic disorder; pseudonymized) and Prevent It (internet-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy; n = 160 active CSAM users; anonymous). A ROC analysis identified an optimal cutoff of 4.5 on Part A for indicating a clinically significant heightened risk for sexually abusive acts (same week: specificity 63.7%, sensitivity 83.7%, AUC = .802; next week: specificity 53.1%, sensitivity 83.0%, AUC = .727). These results indicate that SChiMRA+ part A can be used to identify increased risk for future offending behavior as well as probable ongoing CSAM use among self-identified help-seekers.","PeriodicalId":21828,"journal":{"name":"Sexual Abuse: A Journal of Research and Treatment","volume":" ","pages":"447-473"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13083816/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145960218","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since the 1990s, many actuarial and structured risk assessment instruments have been developed that are now routinely used in sentencing, treatment, and post-release risk management. The majority of these scales, however, were developed using undifferentiated groups, raising questions about their utility within meaningful subgroups, such as persons with low intellectual ability. This study presents meta-analytic findings of the predictive accuracy (discrimination) of risk tools for crime and violence when used with men with low intellectual ability and a history of sexual offending. We also examined age as a recidivism risk predictor. Database searches identified 15 distinct samples (N = 923). Age, as a single variable, showed moderate to large effects for sexual, violent, and general (any) recidivism. Overall, the predictive accuracies of the instruments were moderate and similar to those observed for other samples. Amongst the measures investigated, a measure specifically for persons with low intellectual ability (ARMIDILO-S; Boer et al., 2013) demonstrated the highest predictive accuracy. Larger effects were found when recidivism was measured by staff reports than by official records (e.g., charges, convictions). Our findings support the use of existing risk tools with men with low intellectual ability. Researchers should privilege staff reports over official records of recidivism for studies concerned with sexual recidivism.","PeriodicalId":21828,"journal":{"name":"Sexual Abuse: A Journal of Research and Treatment","volume":" ","pages":"386-419"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13083825/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147345325","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analysis is based on notifications reported to dioceses and male religious congregations, processed by the Institute for Catholic Church Statistics. The study categorizes cases based on the credibility of allegations and tracks the evolution of data collection methodologies, moving from handwritten questionnaires to more detailed online surveys. The research explores variables such as victim demographics (age, gender, and Church affiliation), perpetrator profiles, forms and circumstances of abuse, and reporting patterns. Over the analyzed period, 1,193 minors were identified as victims in notifications, with 1,018 credible allegations. Boys constituted 56% of victims, with an average age of abuse rising from 11 to nearly 15 years. Of 838 accused clergy, 394 were credibly implicated, primarily priests. Most offenders harmed a single victim, though 20% had multiple victims. Findings indicate a significant increase in abuse cases from the 1970s to the 1980s. Despite the detailed data, the study emphasizes limitations, including the inability to fully ascertain the prevalence of abuse due to underreporting and varied motivations for disclosure. The results highlight the need for continuous monitoring to comprehensively understand and address this issue. This research contributes to broader efforts to enhance transparency, accountability, and preventive measures within the Church.","PeriodicalId":21828,"journal":{"name":"Sexual Abuse: A Journal of Research and Treatment","volume":" ","pages":"379-385"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145065506","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The sample consisted of all persons aged 15 during the period 1997-2005 (N = 388,814). Of those, 19,559 juveniles (5%) were charged with a crime, mostly (83%) of a non-violent nature. For the remaining 16.9% (n = 3,309), the charge involved violence, either non-sexual (n = 2,991, 15.3% of those charged) or sexual (n = 318, 1.6% of those charged). Proportional hazard models were used to investigate background characteristics and risk of recidivism. Early onset of offending was related to a more disadvantaged background. Juveniles charged with violent and sexual offenses were generally younger and had more charges against them than juveniles charged with any other crimes. Early sexual crime carried higher hazard rate (HR) of future sexual crime (HR = 3.6) than early violent (HR = 1.9) and other crimes (HR = 1.4). The risk of later violent crime was similar among those with early onset violent (HR = 2.8) and sexual (HR = 2.5) crime, and higher than for early onset general crime (HR = 1.7). Since violent crime has a higher base rate than sexual crime, violence is more dominant in the criminal careers of people with early onset sexual offending. However, the majority of adult sexual criminal charges are raised against persons without a juvenile criminal record.","PeriodicalId":21828,"journal":{"name":"Sexual Abuse: A Journal of Research and Treatment","volume":" ","pages":"247-272"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12916855/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145453094","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
