Civilly committed sexually violent persons (SVPs) are a select group of individuals designated as high risk for future sexual violence. Despite risk reduction in older age, SVP programs are seeing aging client populations, with many individuals remaining committed after age 60 (60+). Recent research found a sexual recidivism rate of 7.5% for 60+ individuals released from an SVP civil commitment program. The current paper follows up by examining reasons why individuals remain committed after age 60. It compares SVPs discharged after age 60 to those who are 60+ but remain civilly committed. Results of bivariate analyses reveal older SVPs who remain committed have significantly higher actuarial risk scores and are more likely to be of minority race. Multivariate logistic regression analyses found actuarial risk scores (Static-99R) predicted continued commitment, after controlling for other relevant variables. Barriers to community reintegration and suggestions for multi-disciplinary case management for older SVPs are discussed.

为什么 60 岁以上的人仍被视为性暴力者？

民事性暴力者 (SVP) 是一组被指定为未来性暴力高风险的个人。尽管老年人的风险有所降低，但 SVP 计划的客户群体正在老龄化，其中许多人在 60 岁（60 岁以上）之后仍然承诺。最近的研究发现，从 SVP 民事承诺计划中释放的 60 多名个人的性累犯率为 7.5%。目前的论文随后研究了个人在 60 岁后仍然承诺的原因。它将 60 岁后出院的 SVP 与 60 岁以上但仍保持民事承诺的人进行了比较。双变量分析的结果显示，仍然忠诚的年长 SVP 的精算风险评分明显更高，并且更有可能是少数族裔。多变量逻辑回归分析发现，在控制其他相关变量后，精算风险评分 (Static-99R) 可预测持续承诺。讨论了重新融入社区的障碍以及针对老年 SVP 的多学科案例管理的建议。
