Delivering an intervention to a young person minimising his harmful sexual behaviour – a practice case study

Victoria Anne Hatton

Abstract: Young perpetrators of harmful sexual behaviour (HSB) often minimise the severity of their offending. Whilst there have been mixed findings, the most recent literature suggests offence-specific minimisation increases the risk of sexual recidivism in high risk sexual offenders. The presented case study summarises the authors' engagement with a 17-yearold perpetrator of internet-related HSB (arrested for possessing and distributing thousands of indecent photographs of children) who was minimising the severity of … Show more

There is a growing body of evidence that adolescents, and other children, are responsible for a significant proportion of sexual abuse against children. However, there are substantial differences in how this phenomenon is defined and conceptualized between and within sectors. This scoping review explored the current definitions of harmful sexual behaviors (HSB), and other similar terms, used across a range of stakeholder groups. In all, 141 papers were reviewed from both empirical and gray literature sources, including key policy and practice documents. Included papers needed to list a clear definition for the behavior of interest. There was disagreement and inconsistency across the included papers in their conceptualization of harmful, abusive, or problematic sexual behavior (PSB) in children and adolescents. Although the term HSB has been adopted as an umbrella term or continuum in many policy, practice, and research settings, there is a large variance in behaviors, treatment needs, etiology, and harms present across different types of sexual behavior. Relying solely on one term to describe a wide range of sexual behaviors in children and young people may limit the understanding of this issue and imply similarities between groups that are not present. We suggest that clearly defined subsets of HSB, such as sexual abuse, technology-assisted HSB, and PSB, may give more context to the behavior of concern and may be helpful in informing further research, prevention, and best practice approaches.

The Lightbulb Service, a brief intervention, provided the opportunity for people who screened into the Offender Personality Disorder (OPD) pathway to access a therapeutic service to increase insight and experience a positive change in their wellbeing. The Service Evaluation used qualitative methods to explore the benefits of this intervention whilst recognising its limitations. Specificall, themes around being listened to; someone interested in them and their story, and improved connection to other professionals were just some of the discoveries made. It provided us with hope that brief interventions within a personality disorder service can make real and positive change for someone, who otherwise would not have accessed help.
