Policies designed to prevent sexual (re)offending are often proposed on behalf of survivors of sexual violence. However, no research has examined survivors' beliefs about the causes of sexual offending.

It demonstrates that survivors' beliefs are highly complex and multifaceted, and destabilizes the uniform survivor of governmental imagination
