Over the last 50 years, there has been a plethora of research exploring sexual offending with a recent focus on online offending. However, little research has focused on voyeurism despite convictions and media awareness growing rapidly. Currently, there is sparse theoretical or empirical literature to guide research and practice for individuals engaging in voyeuristic behaviors. As such, 17 incarcerated men with a conviction of voyeurism in the UK were interviewed on the cognitive, affective, behavioral, and contextual factors leading up to and surrounding their offense(s). Grounded theory analyses were used to develop a temporal model from background factors to post-offense factors; the Descriptive Model of Voyeuristic Behavior (DMV). The model highlights vulnerability factors for men engaging in voyeuristic behaviors in this sample. Following this, the same 17 men were plotted through the model and three key pathways were identified: Sexual Gratification, Maladaptive Connection Seeking, and Access to Inappropriate Person(s). The characteristics of each pathway are discussed, and treatment implications considered.
在过去的50年里，有大量关于性犯罪的研究，近期的重点是网络犯罪。然而，尽管偷窥癖的定罪率和媒体关注度迅速上升，但针对它的研究却很少。目前，几乎没有理论或实证文献来指导对有偷窥行为的人的研究和实践。因此，对英国17名因偷窥罪被监禁的男性进行了访谈，了解导致其犯罪及犯罪前后的认知、情感、行为和背景因素。采用扎根理论分析方法，从背景因素到犯罪后因素构建了一个时间模型；即偷窥行为描述模型（DMV）。该模型突出了该样本中有偷窥行为男性的脆弱因素。在此之后，通过该模型对这17名男性进行了分析，确定了三条关键途径：性满足、寻求适应不良的联系以及接触不合适的人。讨论了每条途径的特点，并考虑了治疗意义。
