Three theoretical perspectives - Biological, Social Learning, Feminist


Biological Perspective - Comes from Positivism
Offenders may develop physical and mental traits at birth or soon after that affect
their social functioning


Social Learning Perspective - Sociological factors influence behavior


Feminist Perspective - Emphasizes the historical and structural factors that have
contributed to sexual offending


Chemical Castration - Reducing levels of testosterone
Big promise
Paired with cognitive behavioral therapy = largest impact


Neurophysiological Functioning - Battery Test, IQ scores, "non-right handedness"
(NRH), and brain imaging technology to measure brain deficits - dependent on
type of offender


Differential Association - Abundance of pro crime influences from peers and those
who are important


Neutralization/ Drift - Offenders are typically law abiding, but drift into criminality
by employing rationalizations

, (cognitive distortions: denial of responsibility, denial of injury, and denial of
victim)


Hormones related to sexual aggression - Testosterone levels


Patriarchy - A social, legal, and political environment that values men over women
therefore enforcing male entitlement

encouraged
