“…As found by Cortoni et al (2010), the base rates for female sexual recidivism ranged from 1 to 3%, which is significantly lower than male sexual offenders who have an estimated base rate of 10Á15% (Hanson & Bussière, 1998). Moreover, risk assessment measures applicable to male sexual offenders may not be related conceptually to female sexual perpetrators, requiring the operationalisation of different theoretical constructs (Gannon & Cortoni, 2010).…”

Although there has been a great deal of research conducted on sexual offenders in recent years, the vast majority of studies have focused on male perpetrators. Little is known about female sexual perpetrators, due primarily to the small number of offenders/offences and sociocultural factors. This study evaluated if there was an association between static risk factors [as delineated by the Static-99 and Rapid Risk Assessment for Sex Offender Recidivism (RRASOR)] and institutional sexual misconduct for incarcerated female sexual offenders. In addition to demographic information, total Static scores were obtained from a file review along with institutional conduct reports. The STATIC-99 and RRASOR scores from intake information significantly predicted sexual conduct reports in prison.

“…Both criminal justice reports and surveys of victims consistently identify males as the primary perpetrators of sexual violence (Office of National Statistics, 2014;Wilson & Prescott, 2014), although women also commit sexual abuse (Elliott and Bailey, 2014;Gannon & Cortoni, 2010). The majority of these crimes are perpetrated by someone the victim knows.…”

“…Motivational typologies have been described for rapists (Knight 1990), child molesters (Knight 1990), exhibitionists (Morin 2008), internet offenders , sexual murderers (Proulx 2007) and female offenders (Gannon 2010). Few have been empirically validated and individuals should not be squeezed into typological boxes; but typologies can help case formulation.…”

“…Although most sexual offenders are male, there is increasing recognition of female perpetrators (Gannon 2010), and a significant minority of sexual offences are committed by children and adolescents (Poortinga 2009). Space does not allow us to cover these groups in detail here, and it is important to note that approaches used for men should not be used for women or young people.…”
