Description:
This comprehensive text provides an up-to-date review and critique
of current theorising about sexual offending. It presents the key
ideas underpinning each theory in a clear and accessible manner.
Theories are rigorously tested and evaluated, and their merits are
examined from both a research and a clinical point of view.


Importantly, the emphasis is on providing clear links between
theory and practice, and the clinical implications of the different
theories and perspectives are explicitly discussed. In addition, a
number of new ideas about the aetiology of sexual offending are
presented.


Theories of Sexual Offending is one of the few
books to draw all of the disparate strands of theorising together,
and is the only one to clearly link theory to practice. It will be
a valuable resource for any professional working with sexual
offenders, such as clinical and forensic psychologists,
psychiatrists, probation officers and social workers. It will also
be of interest to students of forensic and clinical psychology.
