RT Article T1 Applying Offending Trajectory Analyses to Men Adjudicated for Child Sexual Exploitation Material Offenses JF Criminal justice and behavior VO 49 IS 8 SP 1095 OP 1114 A1 Babchishin, Kelly M. A2 Eke, Angela W. A2 C. Lee, Seung A2 Lewis, Nicole A2 Seto, Michael C. LA English YR 2022 UL https://krimdok.uni-tuebingen.de/Record/1809030862 AB We applied offending trajectory analyses to 387 men adjudicated for child sexual exploitation material (CSEM) offenses. After an average of 20 years, we found two trajectories of sexual offending and violent offending: one that peaked in late adolescence and was associated with higher rates of crimes, and one that peaked in the 30s and was associated with a lower rate of crime. We found four trajectories when modeling any crime. The findings highlight the heterogeneity of men with CSEM offenses. Although lifelong patterns of numerous sexual crimes were uncommon, men with more sexual crimes had greater indicators of sexual interest in children and a younger age of first contact with police. CSEM offenses were rarely the first offense in their criminal trajectories. As such, early intervention targeting youth before they are further advanced in their criminal careers may also reduce future CSEM offending.
