ABSTRACT

This chapter demonstrates that sexual offenders, particularly situational offenders, can be effectively prevented from ever molesting or raping again. Despite the media attention and dramatic nature of prominent cases of sexual crimes and misdeeds of late, the actual incidence of sexual crimes in the United States has dropped by over 30% from 2002 to 2015, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, US Department of Justice. Behavioral habits and preferences, including sexually based ones, as once commonly believed, but by a combination of genetic potentials and adult lifetime experiences. Virtuous pedophiles (the adjective almost defines an oxymoron) would have people believe they are in the category similar to adult homosexuals. A man or woman romantically attracted to an adult of the same gender differs from a man sexually attracted to children. The common media portrayal of the sexual offender as incurable has created a population of the uninformed, displayed by the unprincipled, to an audience largely bewildered.
