The good lives model proposes at least 10 primary human goods that are thought to be common to all individuals which, when secured, contribute to enhanced well-being and life satisfaction. Prosocial attainment of primary human goods is thought to promote desistance from crime. However, individuals convicted of sexual offenses face significant obstacles upon their reentry into the community that likely undermine their ability to obtain such goods. The current study explored the pursuit and attainment of primary human goods in a U.S. sample of men convicted of sexual offenses. We interviewed 42 men released into the community to examine the extent to which they desired and pursued primary human goods. Results highlighted that participants valued many of the human goods outlined in the good lives model, but their means to achieve them were restricted considerably by their correctional status. "Interpersonal relationships" and "life/survival" emerged most frequently during the interviews and were identified as the two most important goods. We discuss the negative impact of recent policies on participants' ability to pursue and attain human goods as well as the value of attending regular treatment in obtaining the goods of "knowledge" and "community." Implications for policy and directions for future research are provided.
美好生活模型提出了至少10种主要的人类善品，这些善品被认为是所有人共有的，一旦获得，就能提升幸福感和生活满意度。通过亲社会方式获得主要人类善品被认为有助于减少犯罪。然而，性犯罪罪犯在重新融入社区时面临重大障碍，这可能会削弱他们获得这些善品的能力。本研究在美国一个性犯罪罪犯样本中探讨了对主要人类善品的追求和获得情况。我们采访了42名获释后融入社区的男性，以考察他们渴望和追求主要人类善品的程度。结果表明，参与者重视美好生活模型中列出的许多人类善品，但他们实现这些善品的途径因矫正状态而受到极大限制。“人际关系”和“生活/生存”在访谈中出现得最为频繁，并被确定为最重要的两种善品。我们讨论了近期政策对参与者追求和获得人类善品能力的负面影响，以及参加定期治疗在获得“知识”和“社区”善品方面的价值。还提供了对政策的启示和未来研究方向。
