Sexual Offenders Case Study

An Alabama convicted sex offender was charged Thursday with kidnapping and murdering 12-year-old Naomi Jones after finding Jones's body in a creek near her house.

When we hear the phrase, sex offender, we normally feel repulsed. We think of dirty old creepy men. I for one used to do this, I won’t lie. This is because people like to rush to judgment. But my opinions changed when I came to the realization that it’s not just creepy old men who are sex offenders. I want to talk about them, but not those who are serial rapists or child molesters; they don’t deserve to be talked about. I’m talking about people who are convicted, whether it’s falsely, or unjustly, and have to wear a stamp on their forehead for the rest of their lives saying they are a sex offender.

One emergent theme to arise was the connection participants experienced working with both sex offenders and victims, as Participant 1 described, “you get the balance, you get the full sort of picture or you get the full experience or impact from both parties so you don’t become too skewed in a way”. The reasons behind this appeared to be that although the work was very different with both groups, with the programme for sex offenders being very evidence based compared to that of the victims, by working with victims and witnessing their trauma and the impacts of the abhorrent crimes, provides one half of the picture, which then helps when the participants are working with sex offenders, because as

We estimate that notification laws reduce the number of sex offenses when the size of the registry is small but that these benefits dissipate as more offenders become subject to notification requirements. This pattern is consistent with notification deterring nonregistered individuals but encouraging recidivism among registered offenders, perhaps be- cause of the social and financial costs associated with the public release of their criminal history and personal information.

In my opinion, sex offenses do receive special attention in the criminal justice system. I believe this because sexual offenses is a very different crime that impacts victim the most. Since it impacts the victim the most, it receives this special attention in the criminal justice system.

The purpose of this paper was to describe the multiple different sex offender typologies. There are four main rapist typologies: power reassurance, power assertive, anger retaliatory, and anger excitation. Child molesters fall under either a situational child molester or preferential child molester. Another sex offender is a juvenile sex offender. This paper will also identify the method of operation (M.O.) and provide a basic profile for each type of rapist.

There is no such thing as a “typical” sex offender. Sex offenders can come in both male and female, homeless, or have a home, any race, and can have any type of

Sex offenders tend to blend in to society virtually unnoticed until they offend or reoffend (Polizzi, MacKenzie, & Hickman, 1999). Currently, there is a large group of mental health professionals representing a variety of disciplines, including psychology, psychiatry clinical social work, counseling, and medicine, that continue to believe in the potential efficacy of treating sex offenders. Over the past decade, the sex offender treatment field has grown rapidly and the treatment of juvenile sex offenders is on the rise (Parks & Bard, 2006). The rationale for treating juvenile offenders is based on research which indicates that inappropriate sexual behavior patterns develop early and a failure to intervene and change behavior early often means that the offender will continue to escalate his/her inappropriate behavior, which could present an even greater danger to society (Ayland & West, 2006). Vivian-Bryne, (2004) suggests that professionals who treat adult sex offenders report that offenders who are incarcerated will eventually return to the community and therefore, therapeutic measures should be taken to reduce the likelihood that they will reoffend even if those measures have not conclusively been identified as effective. Sexual offenders may find therapy valuable because it can allow them to retrace their upbringing to help them identify and understand the roots of their

The sex offender registration and notification law are a sensible concept that help us defend our children from potential predators. To begin with, sex offender registration and notification can be checked ant time, anywhere as long as a person possess a device that connect internet. Furthermore, it is easy to operate when an individual interested to check; all a person can use is a zip code or the name of a sex offender. In the meantime, the registration site includes the nature of offence, color photo of the sex offender’s, as a result this. Children who lives such area can be protected by utilizing this public notification to warn and protect their children. Second, when states is unable to implement properly the sex offender registration

Stories of sex offenders have been increasingly a focus of attention by the criminal justice system over the past years. By legal definition, a sex offender “is a person who is convicted of a sexual offense (Sex Offender Law & Legal Definition),” an act which is prohibited by the jurisdiction. What constitutes as a sex offense or normal/abnormal sexual behavior varies over time and place, meaning that it also varies by legal jurisdiction and culture. In the United States of America, for example, a person can be convicted of wide range of sexual behavior that includes prostitution, incest, sex with a minor, rape, and other sex offenses (Sex Offender Law & Legal Definition). As the nature of sex crimes have long held the

Psychological Traits, Biological Commonalities, and Genetic Links in Repeat Sex Offenders: Treatment and Prevention for the Future

The Dangerous sexual offender was a new amendment made to the criminal code enacted in 1960-1961 replacing the older criminal sexual psychopath. The new definition of the dangerous sexual had three components first is that a “person by his conduct in any sexual matter has shown failure to control his sexual impulses [second is] who is likely to cause injury pain or other evil to any person through failure in the future to control his sexual impulses or [third] is likely to commit further sexual offence (Klippert v. Queen, 1967, p. 833). The biggest difference between the earlier criminal sexual psychopath and the newer dangerous sexual offender was the or clause which allowed for the third alternative. This third alternative according to Kinsman

al. (2012), claims that there is strong evidence that suggests it is a reliable predictor in sex offense recidivism. The second most common use of the VRAG is in assessments of potential parolees, which is more in line with its intended use.

Expunged records for juveniles refer to the deleted juvenile files of a now adult offender. The purpose of destroying the data to make sure that the individuals are not stigmatized (Cox, 2008).
