Within many sexual offender-specific treatment programs, clients and their therapists devote considerable time to understanding "cycles" or "pathways" to sexual offending, and clients often need to fit their stories into existing offending paradigms. Although this post hoc processing of offending behaviors may assist clients in understanding their individual pathway toward crime, we know little about how they situate this information within their lives moving forward. Relying on in-depth interview data, the current study examined accounts of the sexually related crimes that brought 28 men to prison. Analyses suggest varied perspectives among the men regarding pathways to and from their sexual offenses; some aligning with existing models, but others merging around different theoretical frameworks. Implications are discussed as they relate to treatment models and the desistance process for men convicted of sexual offenses.
在许多针对性犯罪者的特定治疗项目中，客户及其治疗师投入大量时间来理解性犯罪的“循环”或“路径”，客户通常需要将自己的经历纳入现有的犯罪范式。尽管对犯罪行为进行事后分析可能有助于客户理解自己走向犯罪的个人路径，但我们对他们如何在未来的生活中运用这些信息却知之甚少。本研究依靠深入访谈数据，考察了致使28名男性入狱的性相关犯罪的描述。分析表明，这些男性对于性犯罪的犯罪路径和停止犯罪路径有着不同的观点；一些观点与现有模型一致，但另一些则围绕不同的理论框架形成。本文将讨论这些观点对治疗模式以及性犯罪定罪男性停止犯罪过程的影响。
