Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract The current status of the literature on sex offender assessment, risk prediction, and treatment would lead most readers to posit that there is significant heterogeneity between types of offenders. Incest offenders, in particular, are commonly thought to be much different from the rest. Intra‐familial offenders have generally been found to recidivate at lower rates than extra‐familial sex offenders and they are generally believed to pose little risk outside the family network. In contrast, three assertions are made in this chapter. First, the so‐called incest taboo is itself a myth. Second, the degree of victim category crossover is so substantial as to render the designation of incest offender of limited utility. Third, there is little empirical support for assessment considerations to differ substantially for incest offenders as opposed to other sex offenders that come to the attention of authorities and treatment providers.

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.
