See moreSexual Offending in Asia examines sexual offending from a general Asian perspective with a psycho-criminological approach (i.e., personal, social, and environmental mechanisms) to provide comprehensive coverage of different topics from both theoretical and practical (i.e., practice and policy) standpoints. This book is part of The Wiley Series in the Psycho-Criminology of Crime, Mental Health, and the Law, which aims to publish original, high-quality authored and edited collections on all aspects of crime, mental health, and the law from a psycho-criminological perspective.
Sexual Offending in Asia is divided into two main sections—i.e., Part 1: Theories of Sexual Offending and Part 2: Sexual Offending in Asia—with five chapters in each section. In the second section, each chapter concludes with two case examples to illustrate the sexual offending phenomenon of each geographical location.
Written by an award-winning author with significant experience in the field, Sexual Offending in Asia provides coverage of topics such as:
- Multi-level theories of general sexual offending, including multi-factorial (Level 1), single factor (Level II), and micro-level or offense process (Level III) theories of sexual offending for specific sex offender populations, including female sex offenders and sexual homicide offenders
Sexual Offending in Asia is discussed based on five geographical regions, namely East Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia, West Asia, and Central Asia. Sexual offending in each geographical region is discussed comprehensively, including the prevalence and nature of sexual offending; cultural values and norms related to sexual offending; offender, victim, and offense characteristics; penal codes; and case examples.
Sexual Offending in Asia will be of immense interest not only to researchers and field practitioners whose work brings them into contact with sexual offenders, but more specifically to those who wish for an informed and informative understanding of Asian sexual offending regarding prevention and intervention strategies.
