Abstract:
Child sexual abuse is a profoundly challenging phenomenon that has a range of detrimental impacts on victims, their families, friends, and the community. In Australia, the sexual abuse of children is a pervasive social problem, public health concern, and egregious criminal offence. High prevalence rates and the numerous adverse effects associated with child sexual abuse makes the prevention of these offences a critical priority. Existing research has shown public perceptions and knowledge regarding child sex offenders and paedophilia to be lacking and inaccurate which can lead to punitive atti

Reintegration of child sex offenders following incarceration is most successful if matched to the needs of offenders, victims and the community, whilst minimising risk of recidivism and developing offenders into prosocial citizens (Austin, 2001). This study explored child sex offenders' expectations for and experiences of reintegration into the community. A longitudinal design was used in which semi-structured interviews covering issues identified in the literature as being related to reintegration.

Abstract:
Understanding the risk factors that contribute to sexual offending against children is an important topic for research. The present study set out to examine whether deficits in emotion recognition might contribute to sexual offending, by testing if child sexual offenders were impaired in their recognition of facial expressions of emotion, particularly with children, relative to non-offender controls. To do this, we tested 49 child sexual offenders and 46 non-offender controls on their ability to recognise facial expressions of emotion using photographs of both adults and children posing emotio

There can be no doubt that sexual assault, especially involving children, is one of the foremost concerns of our society today. However, not only are children often the victims of sexual assault, in many cases those considered by the law to be children (10 to 18 years of age) are also the perpetrators of sexual assault. This thesis reports on three studies that investigated factors associated with the sexual and nonsexual offending of adolescent sex offenders.

Specifically, 17,850 reports of sexual assault were recorded in 2002, a 6% increase since 2001.

Abstract:
Child sexual abuse (CSA) has been recognized as a widespread and devastating problem in our society. Definitional challenges result in a broad range of prevalence rates for CSA varying from 60/0 to 62% for females and 30/0 to 31 % for males (Finkelhor, Araji, Baron, Browne, Peters, & Wyatt, 1986). Although CSA affects our nation's children in epidemic proportions, researchers have found little conclusive evidence regarding CSA precursors.

Abstract:
Despite a substantial expanse of literature addressing male sexual offending, the phenomenon of female sexual offending has only recently garnered empirical attention. While research remains nascent in nature, considerable advances have been made in the study of demographics, criminal characteristics, and typologies of female sexual offenders (FSOs). Similarities and differences between male and female sexual offenders have been the source of much speculation; however, hypotheses arising from this speculation have rarely been subjected to empirical scrutiny.
