“…Additionally, the authors claim that the perpetrators must become aware of the triggers of wanting to commit abusive behaviors and develop coping mechanisms to override those yearnings. These are the same features which supposedly characterize the successful treatment of male sex offenders (see Crolley, Roys, Thyer, & Bordnick, 1998).…”

Scientific research relating to acts of sexual abuse perpetrated by women is a relatively under-investigated field. While the percentage of sex offenses committed by women is low relative to those committed by men, the absolute numbers of such episodes remain unacceptably high, and the consequences of sexual exploitation of children and adolescents may be just as traumatic for those victims. We review the existing empirical research literature pertaining to the characteristics of female sex offenders, the possible types of offenders, and current recommendations regarding their psychosocial treatment. Lacunae in the research literature are identified.

“…These results indicate appropriate sexual interest increased among these youth over the course of treatment. Similarly, a study by Crolley, Roys, Thyer, and Bordnick (1998) reported positive outcomes for adult sexual abusers who graduated from an outpatient behavior therapy program. The study reported a decrease in depression and increase in their willingness to accept responsibility for their offending behavior.…”

Objective: This research study assesses the effectiveness of participation in a multimodal/holistic residential treatment program on changing deviant sexual interests and functional impairment among sexually abusive youth. Method: A one-group pretest posttest design was utilized to examine pretest (intake) and posttest (discharge) scores for 58 youth between the ages of 9 and 18. Outcome measures included Child and Adolescent Functional Assessment Scale (CAFAS) and the Abel Assessment for Sexual Interest—Adolescent (AASI). Results: The results indicate significant improvement from pretest to posttest scores. Length of stay was not found to influence these impacts. Conclusions: The applications of these results to understanding the effectiveness of residential treatment for sexually abusive youth and the assessment of treatment outcomes for these youth are explored and discussed.

“…For decades, sex offender treatment scholars have engaged in the study of effective interventions to alter problematic sexual behaviors related to crime; however, research have focused primarily on sexual deviance, such as pedophilia (Crolley, Roys, Thyer, & Bordnick, 1998;. During the last decade, hypersexuality has emerged as an important criminogenic need, yet understudied, in terms of possible treatment impact.…”

Purpose: The aim was to test whether dynamic criminogenic risk factors change after participation in a new cognitive-behavioral treatment program adhering to the Risk-Need-Responsivity (RNR) model, within a group of adult men convicted of a sexual offense in Sweden. Methods: Three psychometric tests from approximately 26 participants were completed. Therapists rated 46 participants using the Therapist Rating Scale-2 (TRS-2). Results: Participants reported a significant decrease in hypersexuality, small to medium effect size, a non-significant, increased, internal locus of control, but no change regarding attachment styles, posttreatment. Therapists rated significant decrease in all treatment needs posttreatment, medium to large effect size. Conclusions: The significant reduction of several criminogenic risk factors posttreatment indicates the treatment program may reduce problems related to increased risk of recidivism, especially hypersexuality. Moreover, treatment did not appear to have negative effects, motivating further implementation. However, to evaluate the effectiveness, more research is necessary.
