Challenges in the Management of People Convicted of a Sexual Offence

<div><div><p>This book provides an up-to-date analysis of major issues in the field of sexual&nbsp;abuse, both established and emerging, and asks how we can develop the most&nbsp;evidence-based, fit-for-purpose approach in responding to and preventing it.&nbsp;Sexual abuse is a multi-disciplinary, international issue that exists at the&nbsp;crossroads of theory, practice, and research. Therefore, the book is future-facing&nbsp;and asks the reader to critically reflect upon current and future research and&nbsp;practice, and to ask: what next? In doing this the book examines the theory,&nbsp;research, and practice on a range of topics including, grooming behaviors,&nbsp;risk management, risk assessment, sexual fantasies, professional engagement,&nbsp;and policy development. These, and other essential topics for effective and&nbsp;efficient care for people who have committed sexual offenses, are addressed as&nbsp;part of the ultimate goal to reduce and even eliminate sexual victimizationin the&nbsp;future.</p></div></div>
