“…Lack of definitional consistency has translated to unguided measurement, which has hindered the study of collateral consequences. Theoretical discussions, however, continue to link collateral consequences to important criminogenic outcomes (Craun & Bierie, 2014; Kirk & Wakefield, 2018; Tewksbury & Zgoba, 2010; Vuolo, 2017). For example, collateral consequences have been theoretically linked to psychological outcomes for individuals convicted of a sexual offense including shame, hopelessness, and depression, as well as behavioral and criminogenic outcomes, such as offender efforts to reintegrate and desist from future offending (Lasher & McGrath, 2012; Mingus & Burchfield, 2012; Tewksbury & Zgoba, 2010).…”

Despite speculation regarding the role of collateral consequences of sexual offender policies in psychosocial and criminogenic outcomes, there has been no empirical analysis in the extant literature examining these links. Lack of conceptual underpinnings and no psychometrically valid measure of collateral consequences has limited study in this area. A systematic literature review was conducted to assess the state of measurement in terms of conceptual and operational definitions, populations sampled, domains assessed, items used, and scale properties reported. Nineteen studies met inclusion criteria. Themes emerged regarding commonly assessed collateral consequences, the misconnect between legal and psychological conceptualizations of collateral consequences, the division between external (i.e., social) and internal (i.e., affective) collateral consequences, as well as a trend toward emphasizing the psychological damages (in addition to discrete experiences of loss) associated with a sexual offense. Findings are discussed, and a unifying definition of collateral consequences is proposed to guide future scale development.

“…As defined in the current study, collateral consequences affecting individuals convicted of a sexual offense include socially imposed (rather than court-sanctioned) barriers. These can include discrete experiences of loss or difficulty related to employment (Tewksbury & Zgoba, 2010; Vuolo, 2017), housing (Levenson, 2008; Tewksbury, 2007; Tolson & Klein, 2015), and financial opportunities (Tewksbury & Zgoba, 2010). Other experiences of harassment, discrimination, property damage, and assault have been documented in the literature (Lasher & McGrath, 2012; Levenson & Cotter, 2005a).…”

Measuring Collateral Consequences Among Individuals Registered for a Sexual Offense: Development of the Sexual Offender Collateral Consequences Measure

Collateral consequences faced by individuals convicted of a sexual offense have been widely referenced in the literature. There is yet to be a systematic examination of collateral consequences affecting individuals, however, due to measurement inconsistencies and the absence of a psychometrically validated instrument. The current study developed and validated a measure of collateral consequences faced by individuals convicted of a sexual offense. Specifically, this study investigated (a) the underlying factor structure of collateral consequences commonly endorsed by individuals convicted of a sexual offense through Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) procedures and (b) reliability and validity indicators of the aforementioned scale. Participants were 218 individuals convicted of and registered for a sexual offense in the state of Texas. Study measures included a pool of 66 collateral consequences items in addition to psychological self-report instruments addressing hopelessness, shame, social well-being, and discrimination. EFA results revealed a two-dimensional construct representing collateral consequences affecting areas of social and psychological well-being. The current measure demonstrated adequate reliability and validity. Limitations and future directions of findings are addressed.
