Long-term follow-up of child molesters : risk predictors and treatment outcome / R. Karl Hanson, Richard A. Steffy, Rene Gauthier. : JS4-1/1992-2E-PDF

"The present study examined the long term recidivism rates of 197 child molesters released from prison between 1958 and 1974. Overall, 42 percent of the total sample was reconvicted for sexual and/or violent crimes, with 10 percent of the total sample being reconvicted between 10 and 31 years after being released. Incest offenders were reconvicted at a slower rate than homosexual pedophiles, with heterosexual pedophiles showing a rate intermediate between these two groups. Other factors associated with increased recidivism were 1) never being married and 2) prior sexual offenses. Although mental health and personality test (e.g., Eysenck, MMPI) scores improved with treatment, neither the pre- nor post-treatment scores were associated with recidivism. The recidivism rate for the treated child molesters was similar to the recidivism rate found for comparison groups of untreated child molesters"--Abstract.
