This article investigates mechanisms of moral disengagement and psychopathy in offender detainees (sex offenders and non-sex offenders). In particular, this article investigates whether, in all offenders, moral disengagement and psychopathy are correlated, if there are any differences between sex offenders and non-sex offenders as to psychopathy, and if there are any differences between rapists and child molesters in regard to their levels of psychopathy. The results indicate that, in all offenders, levels of moral disengagement are associated with levels of psychopathy, while sex offenders are more selfish, more insensitive and less remorseful than non-sex offenders. It is also found that rapists display more antisocial behaviour problematic elements in their lifestyle than child molesters. As well as increasing the dedicated literature, studying the mechanisms and characteristics of offenders - and of sex offenders in particular - may be of considerable importance for the promotion of effective and targeted treatment strategies.
本文调查了在押罪犯(性犯罪者和非性犯罪者)的道德推脱机制和心理变态情况。具体而言,本文调查了在所有罪犯中,道德推脱与心理变态是否相关,性犯罪者和非性犯罪者在心理变态方面是否存在差异,以及强奸犯和儿童性侵犯者在心理变态程度上是否存在差异。结果表明,在所有罪犯中,道德推脱程度与心理变态程度相关,而性犯罪者比非性犯罪者更自私、更冷漠且更缺乏悔意。研究还发现,强奸犯在其生活方式中表现出比儿童性侵犯者更多的反社会行为问题因素。除了丰富专门的文献资料外,研究罪犯尤其是性犯罪者的机制和特征,对于推动制定有效且有针对性的治疗策略可能具有相当重要的意义。
