Child pornography possession/receipt offenders are a controversial offender group due to mixed and occasionally divergent evidence about their risk profile, offending history and psychopathology. Using a population of male offenders who ever perpetrated a sexual offense from a federal jurisdiction in the central United States, the current study developed an exploratory post hoc empirical profile of these offenders. The profile has some success in the validation component of our study and showed significant associations with self-reported sexual abuse of child victims ages 3-12 years, but non-significant associations to adolescent and adult victims. It significantly linked to the conceptually expected victim group and the significant statistical effect withstood controls for generally robust indicators of antisocial conduct including antisocial personality disorder, arrest onset, total adverse childhood experiences, age and race. We view the findings as exploratory and encourage additional empirical study of this important offender group.
持有/接收儿童色情制品的罪犯是一个颇具争议的罪犯群体，因为关于他们的风险状况、犯罪历史和精神病理学的证据参差不齐，有时甚至相互矛盾。本研究以美国中部一个联邦司法管辖区内曾实施过性犯罪的男性罪犯群体为对象，对这些罪犯进行了探索性的事后实证分析。该分析在我们研究的验证部分取得了一定成功，显示出与自我报告的对3至12岁儿童受害者的性虐待存在显著关联，但与青少年和成年受害者的关联不显著。它与概念上预期的受害者群体有显著联系，并且在控制了包括反社会人格障碍、首次被捕、童年不良经历总数、年龄和种族等反社会行为的一般有力指标后，该显著的统计效应依然存在。我们认为这些发现具有探索性，并鼓励对这一重要罪犯群体进行更多的实证研究。
