The Screening Scale for Hebephilic Interests (SSHI)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The current study is an analysis of archival data from a sexual behaviour clinic in Toronto, Canada. The dataset is comprised of offenders who were referred to the clinic for a sexological assessment and includes assessment information, such as victim information and phallometric assessment data for each offender. Victim information is comprised of official file information and official criminal history documentation. Phallometric testing is a psychophysiological measure of sexual arousal to different stimuli which vary by sex (male or female) and sexual development (prepubescent, pubescent, and adult). The purpose of this study is to examine victim characteristics that are positively associated with a primary sexual interest in pubescent children (hebephilia) and to combine these items to develop a scale that can accurately classify offenders with primary hebephilic interests from those who have no sexual interest in children. The classification of these two groups (primary hebephilia versus no sexual interest in children) is based on phallometric testing (see ‘Indices’).

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
