Recidivism Rates Among Biological Fathers and Parental Figures Who Commit Child Sexual Abuse in Hawai'iDixon, Stephanie Dixon 01 January 2018 (has links)
Sex offenders are commonly grouped into categories based on the characteristics (e.g., victim age, relationship to offender) of their victims for criminal sentencing and treatment purposes. The purpose of this quantitative, quasi-experimental study was to address the gap in the lack of literature comparing recidivism rates among biological fathers and male parental figures who committed incestuous child sexual abuse in Hawai'i against children 15 years or younger. This study was the first attempt in the state to examine the number of inmates who had completed their maximum sentences and were later returned to prison for new felony incest offenses. Secondary data were obtained from the Safety Sex Offender Treatment Program (SOTP) within the state of Hawai'i Department of Public Safety (DPS) from the years 1988 to 2013. Areas of recidivism and crimes involving biological fathers, stepfathers, boyfriends of the victims' mothers, foster parents, and hana'i family members were included (N = 1,727). Three hundred and ten met the criteria for the current study. The study had 2 independent variables: the offender's relationship to the victim (e.g., biological, adoptive, stepparent, foster parent or hana'i family members); or the residency status of the offender (e.g., lived with the victim versus did not live with the victim). The dependent variable was the recidivism rates of the incest offenders (i.e., new incest offense convictions). Analysis of these variables using the ï?£2 with Cramer's V statistical test lacked statistical significance as there was no documented evidence of recidivism in either group. The potential for social change and clinical significance still exists. Further analysis of the effectiveness of the SOTP may aid in sustaining low recidivism rates.

Previous issue date: 2008-05-19 / This study investigates the context of the comtemporary adolescence discussing two vertices that are part of the current adolescent s life: the inherent fact of their development, which implies biopsychosocial changes, as well as the fact of living in a society which is also going through tranformations that lead it to instability.. Both interact causing new distress and disadjustment that need to be identified and analysed, and actions taken to diminish the forsaking felt by the adolescent. The dialogue between theorist and poetry self-portrait leads to conceptualization. We discussed five case studies and two worshops on health education to examine the issues proposed in the study. The myths point at the universal character of some adolescents experiences, their families and their groups. New types of families which imply significant changes in structure, function and dynamics are identified, offering children and adolescents a different developing context. Families and society expect a mature youngster, ready to make and take responsibility over his/her choices, although not willing to lose the children they used to have under their control. Double uneasiness arises when the adolescent is not able to manage his /her losses, frustrations and pains because he/she has not learnt it through life. Moreover, he/she does not receive from their familiar environment the necessary self-discipline that will guarantee his/her psychological health and also because his /her parental figures do not know how to deal with distress. To reach this goal, relationships must be strengthened, with clear and objective roles and functions equally shared / Esse trabalho problematiza o contexto da adolescência contemporânea. Discute dois vértices que fazem parte da vida do adolescente nos dias de hoje: o fato inerente de seu desenvolvimento que implica em mudanças bio-psicossociais; e o fato de conviver com uma sociedade que também está passando por alterações que a conduzem a um desequilíbrio. Ambos interagem provocando novos sofrimentos e desajustes que precisam ser identificados e analisados para ações de cuidado que diminuam o desamparo sentido pelo adolescente. O diálogo entre teóricos e a poesia Auto-retrato conduz à conceituação. São discutidos cinco casos clínicos e duas oficinas de educação em saúde para trabalhar as questões propostas no estudo. Os mitos são trazidos para referendar o caráter de universalidade para algumas experiências dos adolescentes, suas famílias e seus grupos. Identificam-se novas configurações familiares que implicam em mudanças significativas em sua estrutura, funcionalidade e dinâmica oferecem um diferente contexto de formação para as crianças e adolescentes. As famílias e a sociedade querem um jovem amadurecido e pronto para fazer suas escolhas e responsabilizarem-se por elas, mas não aceitam perder as crianças que tinham sobre seu domínio. O duplo mal-estar se configura quando o adolescente não consegue lidar com as perdas, frustrações e a dor porque não aprendeu durante sua vida; e não recebe de seu ambiente a continência necessária para garantir sua saúde psíquica, porque também seus cuidadores não sabem lidar com o sofrimento. Para atender essa demanda, faz-se necessário o fortalecimento das relações, com papéis e funções claros e objetivamente compartilhados
