    39. Contributing Risk Factors Associated with Sexual Offending

    40. The following list of contributing risk factors should not be confused with risk factors for sexual recidivism. These risk factors may also be related to general criminal behavior and poor quality of life and functioning.

    41. Common Risk Factors Problems with power/control Seeing others as being sex objects Having displaced anger Ongoing or past neglect/emotional abuse/physical abuse/sexual abuse Problems with deviant sexual arousal Family conflicts Low self-esteem Problems with empathy

    42. Common Risk Factors Cont. Social skills deficits Viewing violence/manipulation/intimidation as totally or partially acceptable Negative peer group Lack of sexual knowledge Neglect/emotional abuse/physical abuse/sexual abuse seen as totally or partially acceptable Emotionally numb Lack of positive leisure activities Lack of a positive support group

    43. Common Risk Factors Cont. Rigid views of sex roles – sexist belief system Spiritual bankruptcy Mental illness Confusing sex, love , and affection Intimacy deficits Inability to understand emotions Communication deficits Identification with younger children Having an “I don’t care attitude”

    44. Important to Remember Each individual commits their offense(s) for unique reasons. There are almost always several reasons (risk factors) why individuals make the choice to sexually act out. It is important to remember that risk factors are not excuses for sexual abuse. Risk factors may influence an offender’s decision to offend, but they do not cause the offender to commit their offense. The offender still makes an active choice to commit a sexual offense.
