Statistical clusters of psychopathology in women who have sexually offended: Predictors of profile membership and recidivism
The Other Side of the Sex Work Equation: A Scoping Review of What We Know About Men Who Solicit Sex in the United States
Past research and punishment of prostitution have predominantly focused on the women selling sex, neglecting the other side of the equation, the solicitors. As many jurisdictions are now focusing more on men who solicit sex (MSS), understanding who these men are is important for more effective interventions and prevention of illegal sex solicitation. In the current scoping review, authors examined 54 works (i.e., scholarly and non-peer-reviewed, …
Culturally responsive teaching can protect STEM identity among underrepresented students
While the disparity is narrowing, Hispanic/Latinx students remain underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) majors. Prior research has shown that STEM identity is an important predictor of a sense of belonging and persistence for underrepresented minorities in STEM. Guided by social identity theory, the present study examined how culturally responsive teaching practices (CRTP) interact with negative ingroup ster…
The Synergistic Effects of Risk-Principle Adherence in the Supervision and Treatment of Individuals Who Have Sexually Offended
Prior literature highlights the effectiveness of the Risk-Need-Responsivity (RNR) risk principle when providing community supervision and treatment to general justice-involved individuals and special populations such as individuals convicted of a sexual offense. Individuals deemed high-risk, per risk assessment, should receive the most intensive levels of community supervision and treatment, while individuals classified as low risk should receive…
Why Do Men Solicit Sex? Examining Etiology Through the Masculinities Theory
Examining the Utility of the Texas Risk Assessment System to Predict Community Supervision Compliance and Recidivism
Although most risk assessment research has examined tools in the prediction of recidivism, there is a growing body of literature that investigates risk assessment in the prediction of successful community supervision. The Texas Risk Assessment System–Community Supervision Tool (TRAS-CST) was developed from the Ohio Risk Assessment System–Community Supervision Tool (ORAS-CST) but has not been examined to predict recidivism or probation compliance.…
Age and Type of First Exposure to Pornography: It Matters for Girls and Boys
The increase in youth and adult use of pornography has led to increased research on the possible effects and implications of such use. A few prior studies have examined the relationship between age at first exposure to pornography and related problems later in life, including more problematic use of pornography. The current study used a sample of 924 males and females at a university in the Southern United States to examine the relationship betwe…
Mediators of the Link Between Psychopathy and Sexual Coercion: The Role of Rape Myth Acceptance, Arousal, and Misperception of Sexual Interest
The current study explores the relationship between psychopathy, cognitive distortions that could promote sexual coercion, i.e., rape myth acceptance (RMA) and misperception of sexual intent (MPSI), and one's level of sexual arousal on the intentions to use sexual coercion. Using a sample of 218 college men (aged 18-69) and a hypothetical vignette design, we examine potential direct and indirect effects of psychopathy on coercion intentions. Psyc…
Psychometric Evaluation of Initial Domains on the Comprehensive Assessment of Pornography Use Tool
Research on pornography use and sexual coercion has provided inconsistent results. One explanation for this is the lack of a valid, reliable, and comprehensive measure of pornography use. This study seeks to address this need by developing a comprehensive pornography use instrument consisting of four domains identified in research: type of pornography used, sexual scripts, habits, and compulsivity. A sample of 324 college men was used. Results of…
Examining psychopathy as a predictor of recidivism in a sample of women who have sexually offended
Comparing Perception of Sexual Intent and the Use of Sexual Coercion in Men and Women College Students
Despite research showing that many college men and women have experienced misperception of their friendliness as sexual intent, such research has focused on this type of misperception only as a correlate of men's sexual aggression. In fact, regardless of methodology used many researchers seem to suggest women do not misperceive men's sexual intent, and in some instances may actually under-perceive it. We used a hypothetical scenario to determine …
Examining the Utility of the LSI-R in a Sample of Women who have Sexually Offended
The ability to identify factors predictive of recidivism among individuals who have offended is integral to properly targeting supervision and treatment focus. Instruments such as the Level of Service Inventory–Revised (LSI-R) show promise with general justice-involved females, but no study to our knowledge has assessed it with women who have sexually offended. The purpose of this study is to examine the utility of the LSI-R in a sample of 243 wo…
Application of the Risk Principle in the Supervision and Treatment of Individuals Who Have Sexually Offended: Does “Oversupervision” Matter
Individuals who sexually offend are commonly misunderstood as being high risk. According to the risk–need–responsivity (RNR) principles, treatment and supervision levels should be determined by actuarial risk for the best outcomes. To date, no studies have examined these principles with individuals on supervision for a sexual offense. This study applies the RNR principles to a sample of 133 men and women serving probated sentences for a sexual of…
The relationship between mental health, risk, and community supervision outcomes
Psychopathy, Depression, and Anxiety as Predictors of Suicidal Ideation in Offenders
Compared to nonoffenders, offenders are at increased risk for suicidal ideation and psychopathy. However, literature currently lacks sufficient understanding of moderating pathways linking psychopathy to suicidal ideation among offenders. This study investigated anxiety and depressive symptoms as potential moderators using a sample of 162 male offenders in the New Jersey correctional system. Results supported a significant positive correlation be…
Comparing Gender Across Risk and Recidivism in Nonviolent Offenders
The purpose of this study was to examine whether gender differences exist in the rate, type, and general predictors of recidivism for nonviolent offenders. A total of 328 male and female Texas state jail offenders were matched on current offense, total number of arrests, age, and race. Contrary to previous findings, the results demonstrated no significant gender differences for recidivism rates, although significant gender differences were found …
Curriculum Implications of Anti-Gay Attitudes Among Undergraduate Criminal Justice Majors
To examine attitudes towards gays and lesbians in an undergraduate criminal justice sample and to test previous research suggesting that law enforcement students hold higher levels of homophobia, we surveyed 453 undergraduates. Results indicated higher levels of anti-gay attitudes in criminal justice majors compared to a small sample of non-criminal justice majors and similar levels of anti-gay attitudes between law enforcement and other criminal…
Perceived racism, masculinity ideologies, and gender role conflict among Latino men
The use of psychological testing to evaluate law enforcement leadership competencies and development
There is little research available to guide the law enforcement leader/trainer in the development of skills. The current study examined a newly developed psychological measure to assess leadership competencies. Participants (N = 102) completed the California Psychological Inventory‐260 (CPI‐260; Gough & Bradley, 2002 Gough, H. and Bradley, P. 2002. User’s guide to the CPI 260 Report for Clients, Palo Alto, CA: Consulting Psychologists Press, Inc.…
Predictors of job satisfaction among police officers: Does personality matter
Validity of the Miller Forensic Assessment of Symptoms Test in Psychiatric Inpatients
This study investigated the validity of the Miller Forensic Assessment of Symptoms Test (M-FAST), a brief measure of malingering, in an inpatient psychiatric sample of 70. Among those patients who also completed the Personality Assessment Inventory (N=44), Total M-FAST score was related in the expected directions to the Personality Assessment Inventory validity scales and indexes, providing evidence for concurrent validity of the M-FAST. With the…
