Document Summary
The new lepers: people convicted of sex offenses. The difficult conversation: what to do about people convicted of sex offenders: legitimate concern about victims, confusion about what we mean by sex, moral panic, misinformation. Implication that all sex offense convictions are pedophilia or rape offenses. Incest: rape, pedophilia, sexting, producing/viewing pornography, statutory rape, date rape, sex work, human trafficking. In a study of undergraduate women, 19% experienced attempted or completed sexual assault since entering college: 12. 3% female rape victims and 27. 8% of male rape victims were first raped when they were age 10 or younger. Follow-up of 1989 sex offender releases : 7. 1% of sex offenders who went through treatment recidivated, 16. 5% of sex offenders who did not go through treatment, 65% decrease. Debunking the myth of stranger danger: perpetrators of female rape victims, 51% were intimate partners, 12% were family members, 41% were acquaintances, 14% were strangers, perpetrators of male rape victims, 52% were acquaintances, 15% were strangers.
