The Risk Factors and Characteristics of Men with Intellectual Disability Convicted of Sexual Offences Experiencing Sexual Preoccupation

Sexual Crime and Intellectual Functioning

Part of the book series: Sexual Crime ((SEXCR))

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to better understand the risk factors and personality characteristics of men with intellectual disability convicted of sexual offences (MIDSOs) with sexual preoccupation. The sample consisted of two groups taking medication to address sexual preoccupation: those with average IQ and above and those with borderline IQ and below. Differences between the groups were explored on age, static risk, sexual compulsivity, clinical and personality factors. Both groups were compared to clinical samples/general population to ascertain presence and level of problematic traits. Whilst MIDSOs report significantly higher levels of cognitive distortion, there were more similarities than differences between the groups. When comparing scores to the clinical/general populations, MIDSOs reported higher levels of clinical and personality factors. Implications for findings are discussed.
