Breaking New Ground: Understanding and Preventing Sexual Abuse

چکیده
The nature of the relationship between IQ and dynamic risk factors for sexual offending (as measured by the Structured Assessment for Risk and Need; SARN) were explored. The aim was to establish if any dynamic risk factors were related to lower IQ in order to draw conclusions about the factors that are most relevant to sexual offenders with intellectual disability. The study used a Bayesian regression analysis to examine the relationship between IQ score and risk factor score for each of the 15 dynamic risk factors measured by the SARN on a sample of 1061 incarcerated male sexual offenders in the UK. The regression analysis showed that the SARN risk factors can be divided into three distinct groups related to IQ: those that have a relationship with low IQ, those that have a relationship with high IQ and those that have no relationship to IQ.
