Reviews
Sexual Offending: A Criminological Approach is a comprehensive and multidisciplinary examination of an important social problem. Patrick Lussier and Eric Beauregard have compiled evidence-based criminological research on sex offenders and official responses to sex crime. Their volume is practical, policy relevant, and a valuable resource for those concerned with this challenging subject. - D. Kim Rossmo, University Endowed Chair in Criminology and the Director of the Center for Geospatial Intelligence and Investigation in the the Department of Criminal Justice, Texas State University, USA Lussier and Beauregard have done a tremendous service to our understanding of sexual offending in this edited volume, drawing together leading scholars working at the interface between psychology and criminology. As they describe in their introduction, our understanding of sexual offending -- and how it has both general and specific crime components -- can tremendously benefit from greater consilience across disciplines. This understanding can in turn better inform our efforts to prevent sexual offending. After a first section establishing theoretical frameworks, the second section discusses criminological contributions to specific topics such as sexual trafficking, sexual offending by adolescents or by women (most sexual offenses are committed by men), and online offending. The third section then talks about applications, and how our understanding can be translated to public policy and practice. I enthusiastically recommend this book. - Michael Seto, Ph.D., C.Psych., Director of the Forensic Research Unit at The Royal's Institute of Mental Health Research and Director of Forensic Rehabilitation Research at Royal Ottawa Health Care Group, Adjunct Professor at the University of Toronto, Ryerson University, Carleton University and University of Ottawa and Editor-in-Chief of Sexual Abuse This is a courageous book that challenges many myths around sexual offending and our understanding of perpetrators of sexual abuse. There is much to be commended and the wide range of subjects and topics covered in the book will be of interest and value to professionals and practitioners working in the area of sexual abuse, academics, researchers, students, and criminal justice officials. Even though it is a criminological text, it will be of interest to other fields like psychology, psychiatry, social work, and sociology. - Riana Taylor, CEO, Circles UK, The Howard Journal of Crime and Justice
