Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Although not well supported by empirical evidence, there exists a long tradition of beliefs suggesting that sex offenders suffer from mental disorders and are mainly driven by an uncontrollable impulse to sexually offend. Despite accumulating evidence showing the versatility of sex offenders, researchers have yet to examine their decision making similar to what has been done with other types of criminals (e.g., robbers, burglars, shoplifters, and car thieves). This chapter presents a review of the literature on the decision making involved in sexual crimes, specifically focusing on the decision making involved at the different crime stages—that is, before, during, and following the crime. Therefore, the goal is to take the reader through the different decision points an offender has to go through when committing a sexual crime. By doing so, this chapter aims to show that sex offenders are “reasoning” offenders similar to other types of criminals.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
