The risk-related correlates & recidivism of victim age polymorphism : a meta-analysis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Victim age polymorphism refers to individuals who sexually offend against victims in multiple age categories (e.g., both child and adult victims).Despite some findings that this group tends to be higher risk of recidivism than non-age polymorphic groups, the literature on victim age polymorphism and its association with risk-related correlates and recidivism is mixed.The present study used meta-analyses to examine the associations between victim age polymorphism and the two main risk-related correlates (atypical sexual interests, antisociality) and recidivism.Database searches retrieved 2,924 articles, resulting in the inclusion of 22 studies.Results revealed that victim age polymorphism was associated with the antisociality risk domain and violent recidivism.A small positive association with atypical sexual interests and sexual recidivism also emerged.Overall, individuals with offences that are victim age polymorphic appeared to share more clinically relevant similarities to individuals who target exclusively adults than to individuals who exclusively target children.

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; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
