Although risk factors associated with offending and recidivism are relatively well-established for mainstream sexual offenses, much less is known about men with a low IQ who have sexually offended (MIQSO), let alone those with forensic involvement. In this exploratory study, 137 convicted for the commission of at least one sexual offense and found not criminally responsible because a mental disorder were recruited in a maximum-security hospital. They were all assessed with the SORAG (static risk factors) and the RSVP (dynamic risk factors). Compared with MIQSO ( = 76), men with an average or higher IQ who have sexually offended (MSO, = 61) obtained significantly higher scores on static factors related with general delinquency (histories of alcohol abuse, non-violent criminality, violent criminality, and sexual offense) and dynamic factors related with sexual delinquency, paraphilia, and recidivism (chronicity, psychological coercion, escalation, sexual deviance, and substance abuse). In contrast, MIQSO obtained significantly higher scores on major mental illness, problems with planning and problems with self-awareness. Logistic regressions revealed that both the SORAG and RSVP were useful to predict group membership. It is concluded that risk factors related with general and sexual delinquency better describe offenses committed by MSO, whereas risk factors related with mental disorder, lack of insight and contextual impulsivity better describe offenses committed by MIQSO.
尽管与主流性犯罪相关的犯罪和累犯风险因素已相对明确，但对于智商较低的性犯罪男性（低智商性犯罪者，MIQSO），人们了解得却少得多，更不用说那些涉及法医鉴定的人了。在这项探索性研究中，137名因至少实施一项性犯罪而被定罪且因精神障碍被认定无刑事责任能力的人被招募到一所高度戒备的医院。他们都接受了SORAG（静态风险因素）和RSVP（动态风险因素）评估。与低智商性犯罪者（智商 = 76）相比，智商处于平均水平或更高的性犯罪男性（平均智商性犯罪者，MSO，智商 = 61）在与一般犯罪相关的静态因素（酗酒史、非暴力犯罪、暴力犯罪和性犯罪）以及与性犯罪、性偏好障碍和累犯相关的动态因素（长期性、心理胁迫、升级、性偏差和药物滥用）方面得分显著更高。相比之下，低智商性犯罪者在重度精神疾病、计划问题和自我意识问题方面得分显著更高。逻辑回归显示，SORAG和RSVP都有助于预测群体归属。研究得出结论，与一般犯罪和性犯罪相关的风险因素能更好地描述平均智商性犯罪者所犯的罪行，而与精神障碍、缺乏洞察力和情境冲动相关的风险因素能更好地描述低智商性犯罪者所犯的罪行。
