ABSTRACT

This qualitative study examines (1) the circumstances under which “normative” individuals with no prior sexual attraction to children commit a sex offense against a minor with whom they had several times interacted during routine activities and (2) Their perception of situational deterrence exercised by adults present/nearby. The sample included eight of 14 offenders incarcerated in a prison rehabilitation unit (N = 20) for a sex offense against a minor. Content analysis of in-depth interviews indicated two types of offenders: The one-time spinners and the spin-thrill seekers both reported an unpremeditated sexual spin triggered by the victim. One-time spinners reported being caught in a one time sexual spin that took control of their conscious mind when interacting with the child in the presence of family members. The spin-thrill seekers reported several sexual spin-thrilling episodes during a sport/educational activity with an adolescent when adults were nearby. The first unpremeditated spin episode had motivated them to initiate additional thrilling episodes of increasing intensity that led to the offense. Out of the spin, one-time spinners expressed regret and concern for the victim; spin-thrill seekers expressed neither. Supervision and vigilance of adults usually present/nearby are recommended to prevent or stop many of these “accidental” sexual spinners from completing their crime.

摘要

这项定性研究检查了 (1) 在哪些情况下对儿童没有性吸引力的“规范”个人对他们在日常活动中多次互动的未成年人进行性犯罪，以及 (2) 他们对情境威慑的看法在场/附近的成年人。样本包括 14 名因对未成年人性犯罪而被关押在监狱康复中心 (N = 20) 的罪犯中的 8 名。深度访谈的内容分析表明有两种类型的罪犯：一次性旋转器和旋转刺激寻求者都报告了由受害者引发的无预谋的性旋转。一次性旋转器报告说，在与家人在场的情况下与孩子互动时，他们陷入了一次性的性旋转中，从而控制了他们的意识。在与青少年进行体育/教育活动期间，当成年人在附近时，旋转刺激寻求者报告了几次性旋转刺激事件。第一次没有预谋的旋转情节促使他们开始额外的刺激情节，强度越来越大，从而导致进攻。在旋转之外，曾经的旋转者表达了对受害者的遗憾和关心；寻求刺激的人都没有表达。建议对通常在场/附近的成年人进行监督和警惕，以防止或阻止许多这些“意外”性旋转者完成他们的犯罪。在旋转之外，曾经的旋转者表达了对受害者的遗憾和关心；寻求刺激的人都没有表达。建议对通常在场/附近的成年人进行监督和警惕，以防止或阻止许多这些“意外”性旋转者完成他们的犯罪。在旋转之外，曾经的旋转者表达了对受害者的遗憾和关心；寻求刺激的人都没有表达。建议对通常在场/附近的成年人进行监督和警惕，以防止或阻止许多这些“意外”性旋转者完成他们的犯罪。
