Printed on acid-free paper Springer Science+Business Media LLC New York is part of Springer Science+Business Media (www.springer.com) Pref ace S exual offending is a profound international problem that wreaks havoc on the lives of far too many persons. The Association for the Treatment of Sexual Abusers (ATSA) in policy papers from May 2011 provided a perspective of sexual assault as a public health problem. Over 20 years ago, in 1995, the American Medical Association declared sexual abuse a “silent-violent epidemic;” clearly it remains one today. Close to 20 % of women and 6 % of males have reported the experience of coerced sex at some time in their lives, with a signifi cant majority of those victims being sexually assaulted prior to age 18. Sexual offending of both adults and children is known to increase the risk of a wide range of medical and psychosocial issues for those who are its victims, including depression, substance abuse, posttraumatic stress disorder suicide attempts, maladaptive personality traits and disorders as well as physical injuries, sex- ually transmitted diseases, and risky sexual behavior. Secondary victims of sexual offending include family members and friends who are also often traumatized themselves when a loved one is victimized by sexual assault. Signifi cant scientifi c progress has been made in the past 20 years regarding the nature of sexual offending, particularly reoffending, and the bases for principles and practices of both evaluating and intervening to reduce the frequency and impact of sexual offending. Some regard the progress to date as a glass half-empty, while others as one half-full. The intent of this book on sexual offending is to offer a range of perspectives on multiple and important aspects of the predisposing conditions of this particular form of violent offending as well as to offer viewpoints and guidelines on a diversity of assessment practices and management issues, as well as on special populations of sexual offenders. In addition, relative to many books in the fi eld of sexual offending, this book was informed by the decision to provide chapters authored both by well-known fi gures in the fi eld of sexual offending and also by experienced, knowl- edgeable professionals who provide services regarding sexual offenders in their daily practice in the fi eld but who committed to providing state-of-the-art reviews and discussions of rele- vant topics regarding sexual offending. We sought to include a unique breadth of chapter top- ics that would provide an updated, exceptional viewpoint on aspects of sexual offending, including some not addressed by other books in the fi eld. In all of these ways, we sought to develop a volume that would be informative and useful to the great majority of the varied and increasing types of professionals—practitioners, advocates, and policymakers involved in addressing the pressing and persisting problem of sexual offending. W e hope that this book can play some role in the reduction or even prevention of sexual violence by informing and enhancing both practice and policy in the fi eld of sexual offending.

Hoberman v Acknowledgments I would like to acknowledge the large number of truly special professional friends and acquain- tances who have been constant or intermittent sources of support, information, argument, and constructive feedback on my professional endeavors through the years. It is a blessing to be part of such a generous professional community that accepts and encourages critical thinking and striving to do one’s best work. In particular, I thank my friends Jim and Michael for many things. I would like to dedicate this book specifi cally to Dawn Koehler, as well as to my children, whose endless patience, support, and understanding during the 5+ years it took to bring this project to fruition is so greatly appreciated. Hopefully, one day each of you will have a genuine mental image of me that is something other than one of sitting at a desk reading research arti- cles, reviewing records, or writing at the computer. It is already clear that each of you has already or will soon succeed in enacting distinctive lives of character, achievement, and amusement. All of you have enriched my life far beyond my expectations, and I thank each of you for your love, which means the world to me. Harry M. Hoberman I would like to express great appreciation to my husband, Doug Epperson, for his tireless support for my personal and professional endeavors.
