Sex Offenders Sex Offenders are both male and female. Sex offender crimes are influential because of knowledge of their surroundings. A lack of social relationships is among residents that allow offenders to live and move about easily within the neighborhoods. In general, this will increase crime rates because we have fewer resources, less contact, and less stake in maintenance in community. The residents who live in poverty with income inequalities among the most likely to live in communities associated with violent crimes and known sex offenders. Families with low income are at a higher risk for child maltreatment than a family with higher income. Child maltreatment is associated with the rate of unemployment. The higher rate was child abuse is found in communities with lots of vacant housing units and residential density. Sex offenders who target children are more likely to do so out the neighborhood where they live. Children that are sexual assaulted grow up to provide consistent discipline and behavioral boundaries for their offspring. Also sexual assault in the child family most of the time are people that they know. The attraction of sex offenders to socially disorganized communities is not necessarily a choice, but rather the result of a process of relegation. (Tewksbury, 2005). Among sex offender the sexual misconduct was unknown for the religious leaders. Early 1900s the Catholic Church spent 400 million dollars in legal cost, medical cost and the legal settlements in the U.S. Over 1800 civil suits and 200 criminal trials involving sexual abuse by Catholic clergy over the past 15 years. (Firestone P., 2009). The church has turned to mental health professionals to help manage sexual misconduct in religious leaders. The religious type

PREPARING WORKERS leaders are among a whole different sex offender population. Religious leaders tend to be older, better educated, single and less likely to be diagnosed as having a disorder. Most Roman Catholic clergy tend to be angry, resentful, entitled, and lack of concern for others. The noncleric samples of offenders that use physical force in committed sexual acts. Supervision is critical in preventing child sexual abuse but the actions of individuals in whom we trust may require no less monitoring and scrutiny when the care of children is in question. (Doyle, 2003). A lot of women are engaging in sexual activities with children and the phenomenon has not yet been fully acknowledged. The female sexual abuse is less than male so that means it is lesser female committing sex crimes on children. Males that sexual abuse children have been abused themselves. The age of the offenders, at which known on alleged abusive behaviors

began, ranged from 18 to 42 years with an average age of 31.2 years of age. (Elliott, 2010). The female sex offenders have been separated into three types inter-generationally predisposed group, teacher/lover group, male-coercied group. The inter-generationally predisposed group means they abuse their own kids. The next one is the teacher/lover group typically abuse adolescents of their preferred gender and see themselves having that affair. The last group is male-coerced group who are coerced into the sexual behavior either offending after the departure of their own independent pattern. The women that fell in the male categories were forced into abusive situations by a violent, often sadistic, partner. The womens strengths and abilities in reducing their own risk, rather than focusing on deficits. Both personal and contextual protective factors, focusing on offence-specific issues, sexuality, social functioning and support, and selfmanagement and environmental conditions. Childhood abuse was also highly prevalent within the sample with 67% of the sample reporting some form of emotional, physical and or sexual abuse. (Elliott, 2012). Most sex offenders were abused by intra and extra- familial offenders.

PREPARING WORKERS The female offenders are finding of facts in the family courts, previous serious allegations and

local authority concerns about risk to children. 74% reported being previously exploitative and or abusive relationships. They say that the abused person was not harmed and they receive some pleasure from the abuser. Also the sex offenders think that a relationship with a child is much easier than that of an adult. They blame external factors for their offending behaviors because they say they saw themselves as a victim. And also the females have problems dealing with negative emotions not all victims are sexual abused some are in an abusive relationship. The female that are not abused sexual are being treated for depression. The female sex offenders do indeed display deficits in the same risk and treatment targets through the adaptation of framework that have been developed from the male sex offenders. The focus of sexual offender treatment shouldnt be based only on the identification and management of risk factors but should also incorporate good promotion and strengths-based approaches. The being sexual abused suggests that their offending behavior could represent a replication their own abusive experiences. Women are characterized by dysfunctional and abusive childhood problems with self-management and self-esteem also abusive relationships. Men are finding out that they are getting involved with women that were abused sexually as children. Sexual abuse survivors havent received little or no attention in the literature so they keep on seeking treatment. The social workers must know their emotional experiences and get those need treated. A majority of 20 male partners of sexual abuse survivors have conflicts about expressing needs, frustration with various aspects of their relationships, guilt and shame at having feelings, questions about how to deal with relatives, and sexual issues. (Chaucey, 1994). And the great impact of a sexual abuse young kid. The specific needs that might arise for them in

PREPARING WORKERS therapy but it hasnt be addressed. Treatment groups for men have been shortening in the last two years because of early trauma programs designed for women.
