Sex Offenders, 2nd Edition, offers the most up-to-date research involving the treatment and management of paraphilic and non-paraphilic sex offenders with and without comorbid mental illness or intellectual disability. Providing in-depth coverage on issues related to identification, risk assessment and management, treatment, and legal solutions, this volume seeks to ensure public safety while at the same time maintaining medical integrity and respect for due process. The Second Edition newly addresses LGBTQ issues as well as new categories of risk potentially unaddressed by changing sex offender registry laws. Bringing together the foremost international and interdisciplinary authors and perspectives on the topics, this book is intended for psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, and researchers who work with sex offenders, as well as attorneys, members of the judiciary, and policymakers.
