Book excerpt: For over two decades now, much has been learned about the scourge of the HIV/AIDS pandemic and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), especially in the most advanced societies. But although sub-Saharan Africa continues to bear the brunt of the global HIV/AIDS pandemic and other sexually transmitted diseases, very few studies in the region and for that matter Ghana have systematically and exclusively examined adolescent risky sexual behaviour in a manner that is theoretically consistent with the unique socio-cultural norms that govern sexuality in the society. Given that involvement in risky sexual behaviour constitutes sexual deviance in the Ghanaian context, and from the ontological position that behaviour is a product of structure and human agency (Sewell 1992), this study employs the theories of social control (Hirschi 1969), power control (Hagan et al. 1979, 1985,1987, 2002; McCarthy et al. 1999) and rational choice (Cornish and Clarke 1986) in examining the predictors of risky sexual behaviour among Ghanaian adolescents. Overall findings suggest a mixed support for the theoretical expectations. Policy implications and direction for future research are also addressed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT Although sub-Saharan Africa continues to bear the brunt of the global HIV/AIDS pandemic and other sexually transmitted diseases (UNAIDS and WHO 2008; Fatusi and Wang 2009), very few studies in the region and for that matter Ghana have systematically and exclusively examined adolescent risky sexual behaviour in a manner that is theoretically consistent with the unique socio-cultural norms that govern sexuality in the society. Given that involvement in risky sexual behaviour constitutes sexual deviance in the Ghanaian context, and from the ontological position that behaviour is a product of structure and human agency (Sewell 1992), this study extends the theories of social control (Hirschi 1969), power control (Hagan et al. 1979, 1985,1987, 2002; McCarthy et al. 1999) and rational choice (Cornish and Clarke 1986) in examining the predictors of risky sexual behavior among Ghanaian adolescents. Using the 2004 Ghana National Adolescent Survey data (N=3985), the study employs descriptive statistics, measures of association and complementary log-log regression models in predicting the likelihood of being sexually active before marriage, having more than one lifetime sexual partner and condom use. Overall findings provide mixed support for the theoretical expectations. From the perspective of Hirschi's control theory, the findings suggest among others that while some measures of conventional behaviour do not discourage premarital sex, they do so with respect to multiple sexual partnerships. A puzzle that needs further elaboration is the finding that highly educated adolescents who hold leadership positions have a higher significant taste for premarital sex and multiple sexual relations than their uneducated counterparts who are not leaders. Overall findings regarding the predictions of power control theory are consistent with the revised version offered by McCarthy and Colleagues (1999) and Hagan and colleagues (2002); that daughters in less patriarchal or matriarchal households are more likely than sons to have premarital sex and be in multiple sexual partnerships. Findings regarding the predictions of rational theory suggest a mixed rationality; condom use among adolescents in many instances is inconsistent with rational choice behaviour. General and specific policy implications of the findings and direction for future research are also discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A significant percentage of sexual abuse in the United States is committed by juveniles, and mental health professionals increasingly receive requests to evaluate these juveniles. With an emphasis on practicality and utility, Juvenile Sex Offenders fills a gap in the current literature by providing a thoughtful, thorough approach to evaluating and treating youth who have committed sexual offenses or have engaged in sexually abusive behavior. Serving as a functional guide, this text expertly prepares clinicians for the challenging task of evaluating juveniles, picking up where traditional clinical training often falls short and providing state-of-the-art assessment techniques as well as an overview of treatment modalities. Chapters highlight the many ways in which juveniles charged with sexual offenses differ from adults, the common dilemmas facing evaluators, and the changing perceptions and legal trends with respect to youth crime. Chapters also cover sexual development and behaviors among children and adolescents, risk factors and risk assessment, case examples for working with attorneys, and interventions and pharmacological approaches. Clinical practitioners with limited forensic training will benefit from the guidance on formal forensic evaluation and the review of literature on assessment approaches specific to youth, while forensic experts will gain developmental perspective in evaluating and treating young sexual offenders. Set in a hopeful and optimistic framework, Juvenile Sex Offenders is a practical, empirically based guide on the best practices in evaluating and treating this poorly understood and underserved population.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The assessment and treatment of sexual deviance can be very difficult tasks, and it can be hard to find mentors to provide initial skills training and help in navigating the many complexities of a particular case. This book presents a series of case studies from international experts in the field that depict the evidence-based assessment and treatment of a variety of paraphilias. Intended as learning tools readers can use as models and from which they can gain insight, these case studies are offered as exemplars of clinical problem solving. The authors of each chapter provide research evidence that justifies treatment decisions, explain their assessment strategies and case formulations, and provide information about how to navigate common problems a clinician will encounter, such as denial, poor motivation, and co-morbid problems. A variety of assessment instruments and treatment strategies are also illustrated. Both new and experienced clinicians will find this book to be an invaluable resource in their own work.

Book excerpt: Early adolescent sexual behaviors are often associated with contraception nonuse, unplanned pregnancies, and sexually transmitted infections. Determining the factors that are likely to influence an adolescent's early sexual debut would assist with identifying aspects of adolescents' environment that should be included in optimal prevention methods. In contrast to the typical assumption that a single set of vulnerability factors affect all adolescents, this research explored the possibility that there are different pathways, or different sets of factors, that contribute to early sexual behavior in different subgroups of adolescents. The current study used data from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development (SECCYD) to perform traditional bivariate analyses to predict early sexual behaviors, as well as the more neoteric recursive partitioning, a classification tree method. The results of bivariate analyses (t-tests) confirmed several previously identified risk factors for early sexual behaviors: externalizing behaviors, early pubertal development, television viewing, depression, intelligence, school attachment, and family factors such as living arrangement. This study also identified new predictors (resistance to peer pressure, loneliness, and bonding with a teacher) that are linked to early sexual behaviors. The data also supported the use of Biosocial Models, the Problem Behavior Theory, and Social Control Theory for explaining early sexual behavior. Furthermore, the findings from the multivariate analyses (logistic regression and recursive partitioning) suggest that having friends who engage in risky behavior or engaging in risky behaviors oneself may be one of the most significant predictors of early sexual behaviors. However, recursive partitioning analyses suggest that family socioeconomic status (SES) attenuates this effect by showing reduced sexual behaviors among those with higher SES even when they have engaged in risky behaviors. Lastly, several subgroups of sexually active adolescents emerged, all arriving at the same outcome from different pathways, which shows evidence for equifinality. Overall, the findings of this study show that adolescent sexual development, while complex, is still explicable using complex analyses. Intervention methods should target multiple predictive factors, such as risk behaviors and family involvement, to decrease early sexual behaviors.

This book was released on 2016-10-26 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Treating adolescent sexual abusers in the context of the community is not a new phenomenon, but research suggests as states revise their way of providing residential treatment services to adolescents with sexual abusive behaviors, there is a need to better understand how and when to treat this difficult population with a community treatment model that ensures best practice approaches that provides tested and proven treatment modalities for adolescent sexual abusers who are provided community-based residential treatment services. This guide for treating adolescent sexual abusers addresses that question and explains the role of community-based residential treatment programs to ensure quality-tested and proven clinical interventions and the safety of others in the community. All the case studies that I have included in this guide for residential treatment with children and adolescents who sexually abuse have come from my twenty-year experience, research, and personal conversations with adolescent sexual abusers. In consideration of the privacy of those individuals, given names and identifying circumstances have been changed, thus such names used in the case studies does not represent an actual client I worked with during the past twenty years.
