Book Synopsis Halting the Sexual Predators among Us by : Duane L. Dobbert Ph.D.
Download or read book Halting the Sexual Predators among Us written by Duane L. Dobbert Ph.D. and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2004-07-30 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recently, the National Center for Victims of Crime reported annual figures showing 103,845 children were sexually abused, while in that same year there was a 20% increase in all rape incidents and a 33% increase in sexual assaults. Incarceration and therapy have not reduced the rates, points out this author. The rate of incarceration has increased, but incidence of sex crimes is not waning. Dobbert warns we must all play a vital role to reduce such crimes, by prevention. The seasoned forensic examiner enables us to see life through the sexual predator's eyes, to understand the motives and intentions of people with abnormal and uncontrollable desires. He argues we can create a safer world by removing the opportunity for such people to act on their ideas. The author clearly explains disorders from exhibitionism to pedophilia, and presents scenes that illustrate precursor behaviors shown by people preparing to act on such disordered thinking. Also illustrated are stalking patterns common to mentally ill people who commit sexual assaults or lust murders, including the activities of Kenneth Bianci, the Hillside Strangler, and Jeffrey Dahmer, whose serial lust homicides horrified the world. Community activists, teachers, principals, police officers, prosecutors, social workers, and students of criminal justice, forensic psychology, and psychopathology will find this volume of interest.

Book Synopsis Inside the Minds of Sexual Predators by : Katherine Ramsland
Download or read book Inside the Minds of Sexual Predators written by Katherine Ramsland and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2009-12-21 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This revealing look inside the minds of sexual predators, from cyber-stalkers to rapists to teachers who exploit underage children, explains why they commit their heinous crimes. They are among the most frightening of all criminals, yet few have attempted to document the complex mindset of the sexual predator through intimate case details. Inside the Minds of Sexual Predators reexamines this intentional criminal behavior, describing the different types of sexual predators and explaining why they choose to commit their specific type of predatory acts. Each chapter of the book addresses a different category of predator or a specific, complex issue related to predatory behavior. Distinctions are drawn between types of offenders, from the casual offender to the depraved rapist and serial lust killer, and the variables that play a part in an individual's sexual predation are explored. Like Ramsland's Inside the Minds of Mass Murderers, this book is essential reading for professionals in law enforcement and psychology, as well as for everyone seeking to go beyond the headlines to understand this difficult and controversial topic.
Book Synopsis Female Sexual Predators by : Karen A. Duncan
Download or read book Female Sexual Predators written by Karen A. Duncan and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2010-07-20 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unprecedented look at female sexual predators explains why and how they prey on our children and youths and what adults—and children and youths themselves—should understand to prevent victimization. In Female Sexual Predators: Understanding and Identifying Them to Protect Our Children and Youths, social worker and therapist Karen A. Duncan helps adults be proactive so children will not fall prey to this violation. Vignettes pulled from news headlines and interviews with female sexual predators Duncan has encountered in her own practice are used to help readers understand these crimes and the women who commit them, as well as the impact these crimes can have on victims. The women profiled were in positions of authority at churches, schools, sports institutions, and the home. Victims explain how these women exploited their positions of trust, planned their crimes, groomed their victims, deceived adults into not detecting their behavior, and how they did not stop even when they recognized the danger and the harm to themselves and their victims. Duncan addresses the issue of maternal sexual abuse answering questions about mothers who willingly sexual abuse their own children and at times commit child sexual abuse with other adults, as well as women who sexually abuse girls. Four types of female sex offenders are presented within the emerging research on this topic, along with questions regarding assessment, treatment, and management of female sex offenders in the community. It also addresses the controversial issues of female pedophilia and female sexual deviance within the context of what we know about human sexuality.
Book Synopsis Deviance by : Duane L. Dobbert Ph.D.
Download or read book Deviance written by Duane L. Dobbert Ph.D. and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contributors to this unique book explain and compare major theories drawn from several academic fields to uncover the root causes of deviance. In this unparalleled exploration of antisocial and aberrant behavior, criminologists and other experts examine the theoretical perspectives of 15 classical psychological, political science, and economics scholars to shed light on the impetus for deviant behaviors. Murder, mayhem, robbery, sexual assault, and sexual activity with minor children are among the degenerate behaviors cited. Each chapter focuses on the effectiveness of a specific theory, and considers conundrums such as "Does the Darwinian approach explain sexual assault as a drive to procreate?" "Can B.F. Skinner's theoretical perspective explain pedophilia?" and "Can an individual be incompetent at the time of an offense and competent at the time of the trial?" The book reveals how the major psychological, social, and environmental doctrines can explain the behaviors and patterns of a nonconforming mindset. The work addresses the theories of well-known thinkers like Karl Marx, Charles Darwin, Travis Hirschi, and Sigmund Freud, among others.
Download or read book Predators written by Gregory M. Cooper and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2022-02-15 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of us only half-listen to the public service announcements about safety in the home. We lock our doors at night, but do little else to change habits that may make us the next victims of the dangerous individuals who are always on the watch for their next opportunity. This updated paperback edition takes readers through the mindset of predatory criminals - their motives, various plans of attack, and way of thinking - and then teaches simple lifestyle techniques that will help reduce the risk of becoming victimized. Featuring a new chapter on how the Internet and social media has radically changed how some predators operate, criminal behavior specialists Greg Cooper and Mike King provide expert analysis based on real-life cases, in addition to moving insights from victims and criminals themselves. The authors make the point that the people who commit these crimes aren't much different from the predators of the wild, preying on the weak and unsuspecting. What makes these individuals more dangerous than their instinctive wildlife counterparts, however, is that they consciously choose to inflict their will on the more vulnerable members of their own species. To protect our loved ones and ourselves requires that we truly educate ourselves about the predators who live in our society and then take appropriate action. This excellent, in-depth study will help readers lead safer lives.

Book Synopsis Overcoming Sexual Terrorism by : Jake Goldenflame
Download or read book Overcoming Sexual Terrorism written by Jake Goldenflame and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2005-04 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oprah presented him to the nation. USA Today wrote up his life story. People Magazine gave him a feature article. And Jake Goldenflame was introduced to the world. Twenty years ago, he was sentenced to ten years in prison for molesting his daughter and that might have been the end of him. But, while there, he voluntarily put himself through therapy along with a demanding two-year tutorial in ethics and morality given by his prison chaplain. Released after serving his time as a model prisoner, he went on to become a public champion of Megan's Law when it went on the books, requiring the public registration of all convicted sex offenders. (Advice from a registered sex offender, San Francisco Examiner, August 18, 1997.) Reoffense-free for over a dozen years now, Goldenflame has become a role model for sex offenders who want to recover and a spokesperson to communities facing the prospect of living with them. His book tells people what they can do to help prevent every parent's worst nightmare from happening to them and how sex offenders can make their way back. Using what he learned from his past and from the sex offenders he has met in prison and since, the author gives specific suggestions that readers can use to help keep themselves and their families safe from rapists and child molesters in the streets, on the Internet or in youth organizations, as well as from repeated sexual abuse, child prostitution, incest and repeat sex offenders who move into their neighborhood. Among his insights: What's different about us is not how many times we do it but whom we go after and why. If you want your children to be the kind we would never seek, teach them self confidence. (Chapter Two) Anopportunity for healing has to be part of the sentence or it is the community that is sentenced to dealing with us when we return. (Chapter Four) There have always been men (and women) like us and there always will be. We are a recurrent sexual direction that has appeared in virtually every group of people that has ever existed... (Chapter Five) The victim of sexual abuse isn't the only one injured by it: so is the offender and the sooner the offender realizes this the sooner he will stop. (Chapter Six) The trick is to notice whose turn it is when the dance changes.(Chapter Eight) The message of this book is that you can help protect your children from being lost to a sexual predator, with no more than a personal computer and a telephone, right in your own home. In OVERCOMING SEXUAL PREDATORS, you will learn about: -- Child prostitution and how to protect your child from becoming ensnared by it, -- Signs of the incest family and what you could do to rescue its children, -- How to spot the child who may grow up to become a sex offender, -- Why there will always be sex offenders and what can be done to reform them, and -- How you and your neighbors could control the sex offender who moves into your neighborhood tonight.

This book was released on 2005-03-10 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Turning to the Catholic Church as a means of healing from childhood abuse, Hank Estrada looked for consolation and comfort but instead found cruel deception and ultimate religious betrayal at the hands of a very powerful religious machine, and in particular one manipulative, deviant priest. UnHoly Communion is a shocking and candid account of one man's personal battle with the darker side of the Catholic Church. Read the author's first hand accounts of how the Catholic Church continued to shamefully protect one of its sexual predators while he moved on from one victim to another. In this heart wrenching memoir, Estrada describes his road to hell and back as he lived through devastating sexual scandals and found the courage to persevere. This inspiring story of determination and resilience is for anyone who has struggled with any type of childhood abuse, adult exploitation, or the unspeakable sex crimes from once trusted clergy. Estrada connects with the reader and shows us how hope, peace and love can be found if you don't give up.
Book Synopsis Failure to Protect by : Eric S. Janus
Download or read book Failure to Protect written by Eric S. Janus and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2018-07-05 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most crimes of sexual violence are committed by people known to the victim—acquaintances and family members. Yet politicians and the media overemphasize predatory strangers when legislating against and reporting on sexual violence. In this book, Eric S. Janus goes far beyond sensational headlines to expose the reality of the laws designed to prevent sexual crimes. He shows that "sexual predator" laws, which have intense public and political support, are counterproductive.Janus contends that aggressive measures such as civil commitment and Megan's law, which are designed to restrain sex offenders before they can commit another crime, are bad policy and do little to actually reduce sexual violence. Further, these new laws make use of approaches such as preventive detention and actuarial profiling that violate important principles of liberty.Janus argues that to prevent sexual violence, policymakers must address the deep-seated societal problems that allow it to flourish. In addition to criminal sanctions, he endorses the specific efforts of some advocates, organizations, and social scientists to stop sexual violence by, for example, taking steps to change the attitudes and behaviors of school-age children and adolescents, improving public education, and promoting community treatment and supervision of previous offenders.Janus also warns that the principles underlying the predator laws may be the early harbingers of a "preventive state" in which the government casts wide nets of surveillance and intervenes to curtail liberty before crimes of any type occur. More than a critique of the status quo, this book discusses serious alternatives and how best to overcome the political obstacles to achieving rational policy.
