Integrating the Etiologies of Sexual Offending and Pharmacotherapies to Increase Treatment Compliance in Adult Male Pedophiles
Sex offenders represent a diverse population within the United States, and a subclass of these individuals suffer from a sexual disorder known as pedophilia, with males comprising the vast majority of sexual offenders. Similar to most societal concerns, some obstacles hinder the probability of sustained treatment adherence. Enhancing comprehension regarding the constituents of sexual offenses, in conjunction with advancements in pharmacotherapies, may result in expanded treatment alternatives and increased adherence to treatment among offenders.
In addition, a uniform standard of care must be maintained among clinicians providing rehabilitation to offenders in order to decrease the utilization of insufficient and ineffectual interventions in correctional and community settings. The capstone project aims to analyze the constituents of sexual offenses and the impacts of pharmacotherapies. Additionally, it seeks to gain insight into the origins and diverse factors that contribute to criminal behavior to enhance the development of targeted and effective treatment strategies.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify the barriers to sex offender treatment compliance.
- Understanding the components of sexual offending (biological, genetic, social, and environmental.
- The effects of Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors on adult male pedophiles and how pharmacotherapy treatment can reduce negative impulses
