Exploring the Influence of Maternal Behavioural Activation and Inhibition on Predicting Fetal Alcohol Exposure
Background: Prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) can cause adverse physical and neurocognitive fetal development. Numerous underlying mechanisms of PAE-risk have been hypothesized; however, these have predominantly focused on health-, interpersonal-, and social-related factors. Evidence suggests that stable personality traits, such as behavioral activation (BA) and behavioral inhibition (BI) may contribute toward risk of alcohol misuse. We posit that …
Perspectives of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder diagnoses in children
Background Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) refers to the constellation of difficulties resulting from impaired physical development and neurodevelopment following alcohol exposure in utero . The UK has the fourth highest rate of prenatal alcohol use worldwide, but the condition remains stigmatised and under-recognised. The parents of children with FASD play a crucial role in informing the development of relevant policy to address these sho…
The Lived Experiences of Adoptive and Foster Parents of Children With Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (Fasd)
Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) causes a range of physical, behavioural and cognitive impairments, meaning that individuals with FASD often require significant support. This review explores the stress and social environments (social networks, social capital and social support) of foster and adoptive parents of children with FASD. The systematic review followed PRISMA guidelines and identified studies on stress and social environments of f…

There is a place on the southwest edge of Ireland, where stone and sea touch in a constant ebb and flow of memory, history and landscape. Dingle, or An Daingean as it is in the local Irish language. A name that evokes myth and magic, conjuring not only the topography of its windswept cliffs and quiet, stony fields but also the sense of something larger - a pulse, a draw, something that carries you in
Improving child sexual exploitation material investigations
Child sexual exploitation material (CSEM) investigations have emerged as an area of specialization that combines multiple skillsets. Recent research has reshaped how we view CSEM offenders – they have different offense-supportive cognitions from contact sex offenders, their use of technology is no longer based on anecdotal evidence, and approaches to investigative planning, interviewing and forensics have evolved. This paper summarizes select, re…
Self Perceptions and Cognitions of Child Sexual Exploitation Material Offenders
Identifying the self-perceptions of child sexual exploitation material (CSEM) consumers compared to a reference population of non-consumers is critical in establishing distorted cognitions that may not be elucidated when comparison is made with groups who have committed other offenses. This exploratory work utilizes a quantitative approach toward identifying how individuals previously convicted of child pornography offenses view CSEM and CSEM off…
Suicidal ideation in offenders convicted of child sexual exploitation material offences
Understanding the prevalence of suicidal ideation in Child Sexual Exploitation Material (CSEM) offenders and their psychological concerns provides the basis for early treatment and intervention. This research solicited responses ( n = 78) via an anonymous, web‐based survey from adults in the United States previously convicted of CSEM offences. Significant suicidal ideation was present in 73% of respondents ( n = 57), and 19% ( n = 15) reported at…
Public Perceptions of Child Pornography and Child Pornography Consumers
Understanding the public’s perceptions of child pornography helps identify gaps in awareness and knowledge, impacts legislative decision making, quantifies stigmatization, and provides a baseline for identifying differences between lay and offender populations for clinical purposes. This research provides a comprehensive public survey assessing these issues. An Internet-based sample of 524 adults (mean age = 47 years, 51% female) within the USA w…
