Course Description

Blue-toned educational graphic for a continuing education course on contact sex offenders, showing silhouetted figures and text referencing psychopathological and criminological differences between offenders with adult and minor victims.

It is commonly accepted that individuals who commit sexual crimes are a heterogenous group. 

Particularly, individuals who sexually offend against children tend to have different psychological profiles than those individuals who offend against adults. 

This study aimed to identify potential significant psychopathological and criminological differences between Spanish men who have sexually offended against adults or minors. This study specifically looks at contact sex offenders.

This is an accredited course designed for Licensed Professional Counselors to earn Continuing Education Hours, or LPC CEHs

Learning Objectives

Learners will come to understand the:

  1. Differences in personality disorders between the two populations
  2. The Criminological differences between the two populations

Course Description

Revisiting the Sexual Recidivism Drop course featured image. Image of the USA and Canada in the background with a downward sloping line across them and a classic "scales of justice" line drawing on the right.

This 2024 meta-analysis by Lussier and McCuish examines sexual recidivism rates in Canada and the United States from 1940 to 2019. It uses data from 468 studies encompassing nearly 390,000 individuals.

The authors investigate whether a documented drop in recidivism rates is a genuine phenomenon or an artifact of evolving research methodologies.

Through meta-regression analyses, they conclude that a substantial 45–60% decrease in sexual recidivism occurred since the 1970s, even after accounting for methodological factors.

This finding has significant implications for risk assessment and criminal justice policies, suggesting that current tools may overestimate recidivism risk. The study also highlights limitations in current recidivism research, particularly concerning the “dark figure” of undetected offenses.

This is an accredited course designed for Licensed Professional Counselors to earn Continuing Education Hours, or LPC CEHs

Learning Objectives for Revisiting the Sexual Recidivism Drop

Upon course completion, learners will:

  1. Understand when factors influence the decline of sexual recidivism rates
  2. Comprehend how study methodology affects sexual recidivism rates findings
  3. Understand what the “dark figure” of recidivism studies is

Course Description

Course image for Pathways to Offending Online; Mockup of a black screen with a browser window on it with a large yellow triangle with an exclamation mark on it.

This academic paper, “Accessing child sexual abuse material: Pathways to offending and online behavior,” examines how individuals become involved in consuming child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and their online habits.

The authors surveyed 75 male CSAM offenders in a treatment program, focusing on their initial exposure, progression of engagement, and methods to access and avoid detection. Findings suggest that many offenders encounter CSAM unintentionally or through legal pornography and are not necessarily technically sophisticated.

The research also identifies situational factors and psychological states influencing offending, and concludes that prevention efforts should focus on reducing opportunities and implementing online interventions like warning messages and blocking access.

This is an accredited course designed for Licensed Professional Counselors to earn Continuing Education Hours, or LPC CEHs

Learning Objectives for Pathways to Offending Online

The participant will:

  1. Learn the most common pathway to initial exposure to CSAM
  2. Come to understand the common progression of CSAM use
  3. Learn common triggers for CSAM viewing

Image of man in hood standing in front of a plume of red illuminated smoke. REpresentative of CSAM on the Dark Web

CSAM on the Dark Web is based on “Investigating child sexual abuse material availability, searches, and users on the anonymous Tor network for a public health intervention strategy,” published in 2024 in Nature. 

The article looks at the ever-present issue of Child Sexual Abuse Materials.

In addition to looking at characteristics of those individuals who are seeking and consuming CSAM, it looks at computer science aspects.

The article also provides suggested areas of prevention and intervention. Its findings suggest many individuals who are viewing CSAM want to stop but don’t know how to get help.

This is an accredited course designed for Licensed Professional Counselors to earn Continuing Education Hours, or LPC CEHs

Learning Objectives

Participants will:

  1. Learn how prevalent CSAM material is on the TOR network and how individuals are accessing the material
  2. Understand the demographic profile of CSAM users and their readiness for change or help
  3. Learn about potential avenues of intervention and prevention based on the findings of the study

An image representing sexual abuse prevention. Close up photo of a woman's face, the lower half covered in white cloth, her left eye appears to have a tear welling in it.

This research study examines the prevalence of (CSA) and makes inferences about what child sexual abuse prevention efforts work and which need improvement.

It draws from a large survey of Australians and breaks down CSA based on age cohort, as well as the characteristics of the perpetrators. 

It also looks at trends over time in an effort to infer effective prevention efforts, as well as areas where further CSA prevention work is needed.

This is an accredited course designed for Licensed Professional Counselors to earn Continuing Education Hours, or LPC CEHs

Learning Objectives

Participants will:

  1. Learn how perpetrators of CSA differ based on the gender of the victim.
  2. Come to understand how the characteristics of the most common perpetrators of CSA have changed over time.
  3. Learn how CSA prevention efforts need to be expanded based on contemporary data.

One key area of research that can inform treatment and public policy involves juvenile offending and, specifically, adolescent contact offenses. 

We have long known that adolescents who commit crime should not be treated as adults. This study compiles data from long term longitudinal studies to identify risk factors for justice involved youth. 

It also provides rationale for suggestions for changes at all levels to promote best adult outcomes for justice involved youth.

This is an accredited course designed for Licensed Professional Counselors to earn Continuing Education Hours, or LPC CEHs

Learning Objectives

Learners will:

  1. Come to understand 6 individual level risk factors for adolescent offending
  2. Understand what psychosocial maturity is and how it relates to offending and recidivism

Photo of woman hold hands up over her face defensively, perhaps mimicking her reactions to adverse childhood experiences

Sexual abuse among siblings is not an uncommon form of sexual harm seen in youth with problematic sexual behaviors. Particularly with youth that have had adverse childhood experiences. However, sibling sexual abuse is not often studied. 

This research study compares characteristics of male adolescents who were sent to treatment for sexual offending behavior against siblings and non-siblings. Particular attention is paid to adverse childhood experiences and family characteristics. 

Implications for clinical treatment of these adolescents is also discussed.

Learning Objectives

Learners will:

  1. Come to understand the developmental risk factors associated with harmful sexual behavior against siblings.
  2. Understand the existing scientific literature on differences between youth who sexually harm siblings and non-siblings.
  3. Come to understand the influence of adverse childhood experiences on sexually harmful behavior.

Course Description

Viewing Reaction Time (VRT) is often used as a diagnostic tool of pedophilia in risk assessments and treatment of individuals who have sexually offended. 

This study originates from Project Dunkelfeld, a self-referring program for individuals who have sexual interest in children or fear they will sexually offend against children. 

The aim was to assess whether or not the VRT paradigm was an appropriate diagnostic tool for pedophebephilia in a non-forensic population. It also assessed whether the VRT results were correlated with measures of risk such as the STABLE-2007, ACUTE-2007 and the SSPI.

This is an accredited course designed for Licensed Professional Counselors to earn Continuing Education Hours, or LPC CEHs
