Abstract

"Cet ouvrage propose une approche criminologique de la délinquance sexuelle qui non seulement nous oblige à revisiter certaines de nos croyances, mais également remet en question une vision plus traditionnelle du phénomène proposée par la psychiatrie, la sexologie et la psychologie. L’auteur met en lumière les mythes, les croyances erronées et les conclusions hâtives responsables des dérives idéologiques, populistes et cliniques concernant la délinquance sexuelle ainsi que la réaction et les réponses sociolégales envers ce phénomène. Appuyé par la recherche scientifique, il remet en question plusieurs présupposés, notamment : - La délinquance sexuelle se limite aux agressions sexuelles ou aux violences sexuelles ; - Les adolescents ayant commis un délit à caractère sexuel seront les délinquants sexuels adultes de demain ; - Tous les délinquants sexuels sont de dangereux prédateurs sexuels récidivistes ; - Les individus ayant commis un délit à caractère sexuel présentent une déviance sexuelle qui est responsable de leurs agissements ; - Tous les individus ayant commis un délit à caractère sexuel ont besoin d’une thérapie spécialisée pour délinquants sexuels ; - Les registres publics de délinquants sexuels permettent de prévenir les crimes sexuels."--Résumé de l'éditeur

Abstract

Addressing common myths and misconceptions about sexual offending, this book highlights the current state of scientific knowledge about the origins and the development of sexual offending. It offers a critical overview of current criminal justice policies and close to 100 years of research on how to best improve these policies through theoretically-grounded and methodologically-rigorous research. Focusing on proactive prevention-oriented strategies, this book revisits popular ideas about sexual offending through an evidence-based lens, addressing ideological and populist discourse that has led to ineffective and reactive policies. It advocates for a clearly defined concept of the phenomenon of sexual offending to underpin research and treatment. Uniquely, authors consider sexual offending from the viewpoint of criminal justice research and practitioners, incorporating the sociohistorical construction of sexual offending as a social problem, developmental life course research, and the impact of social policies. This book is a call for more proactive research on the origins and the development of sexual offending over the life course.

Abstract

The Life-Course of Serious and Violent Youth Grown Up addresses significant gaps in the literature on youth involved in chronic, serious, and violent offending. Through longitudinal research and a long follow-up into adulthood, it challenges common perceptions about offending outcomes. Using theoretically grounded, methodologically sophisticated and empirically driven research, this book culminates 20 years of data emerging from the Incarcerated Serious and Violent Young Offender Study (ISVYOS). Initiated in 1998 to understand the origins of serious and violent youth offending, it follows 1,719 formerly incarcerated youth through adulthood and offers a contemporary perspective to questions about chronic offending in adolescence and social and offending outcomes in adulthood. The authors provide a theoretically framed examination of new findings from the ISVYOS regarding participants’ justice system involvement, from onset to persistence to desistance. Most participants experienced continued involvement in the justice system in adulthood. However, contrary to past literature, ISVYOS findings challenge static descriptions of chronic offending and notions of the youth "super predator". ISVYOS findings also challenge assertions that experiences and risk factors in childhood and adolescence are not informative of adult justice system involvement. Together, the findings call for a more humanistic approach that recognizes that the complex lives of individuals formerly incarcerated in adolescence implies that desistance does not happen by default.This book will be of great interest to scholars, researchers, and students of forensic psychology, developmental and life course criminology, youth justice, and violent crime.
