Future research should differentiate between those who view pornography and later commit sexual abuse from those who use pornography as a supplement to or a substitute for sexual contact. ),TheSexualAggressor: CurrentPerspectives onTreatment.

For example, risk assessment instruments are derived from research demonstrating intrafamilial child sexual abusers present a lower risk of reoffense than extrafamilial offenders (Hanson & Bussiere, 1998); as such, incest offenders are more likely to be assigned as lower risk, consequently receiving less treatment services and supervision. Freeman, N.J., & Sandler, J.C. (2008). Prentky, R.A., Knight, R.A., Rosenberg, R., & Lee, A.F.S. When adolescents were excluded completely, only 5 percent of offenders crossed over from child to adult victim, which suggests examining crossover offending using broad categories of adult and child results in an underestimation of age crossover.

Sexual and general offending trajectories of men referred for civil commitment. He is characterized as a social misfit, an isolate, who appears unusual or eccentric.

This type is characterized by extensive planning and may often result in sexual murder (Groth, 1979). Accordingly, due to space constraints this article will focus on the latter, whilst also pointing out some of the overlap with the other two classification systems.
