Alcohol and Sex Offending: What Do Child Sex Offenders Think About Drinking?

Alcohol and Sex Offending: What Do Child Sex Offenders Think About Drinking? The relationship between general and sex‐specific alcohol expectancies and drinking before offending was examined in a sample of child sex offenders. Regression analyses revealed that sex‐specific expectancies were the single best predictor of the proportion of times the offenders reported drinking before offending, even when the offenders' (preincarceration) customary drinking behaviors were accounted for. These results highlight the importance of assessing expectancies related to particular social domains. Implications for offender treatment and relapse prevention are discussed. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png The Journal of Addictions & Offender Counseling Wiley

Abstract

The relationship between general and sex‐specific alcohol expectancies and drinking before offending was examined in a sample of child sex offenders. Regression analyses revealed that sex‐specific expectancies were the single best predictor of the proportion of times the offenders reported drinking before offending, even when the offenders' (preincarceration) customary drinking behaviors were accounted for. These results highlight the importance of assessing expectancies related to particular social domains. Implications for offender treatment and relapse prevention are discussed.
