Sex Offender Treatment Case Study

Throughout Jeffs time at this so called “prison,” he is constantly being stripped of all of his freedom, as well as his feelings. Although he is a convict, many of the experiments taking place on him are inhumane; it becomes increasingly clear in the dialog between Jeff, and the head scientist at this prison, Abnesti. Towards the end of the story, when Jeff is reluctant to give Heather the “Darkenfloxxed,” Abnesti is quoted saying, “Do I remember birthdays around here? When a certain individual got athlete’s foot on his groin on a Sunday, did a certain other individual drive over to Rexall and pick up a prescription, paying for it with his own personal money?” Abnesti is using his minuscule good deeds in the past to prove that he is still on Jeff's side; indicating that Abnesti is an unstable human being, who does not feel how wildly this experiment has gotten out of hand. Also, he is

Jeffrey's imprisonment was very literal, but also a reflection of the constricting forces acting on any soul that has been denied it's humanity. In The Academic Postmodern and the Rule of Literature, David Simpson declares that "humanity cannot be realized without the dignity of that the relevant person first being acknowledged". In prison, Jeffrey reflects on the visionary alternatives, saying "And I will emerge again from between the legs of my mother, a slighter and more beautiful baby, destined for a different life, in which I am masterful, sleek as a deer, a winner" (64). Clearly, because Jeffrey never experienced any form of human kindness or validation that might point towards the acknowledgement of his dignity, the essence of "winning" was never possible for him. His humanity was confined to a figurative cage while his body was constricted in a very literal one. Simpson is saying that had someone bothered to acknowledged Jeffrey's dignity, he would not have lost his sense of humanity and murdered his boss, resulting in his literally and metaphorically permanent imprisonment.

An Alabama convicted sex offender was charged Thursday with kidnapping and murdering 12-year-old Naomi Jones after finding Jones's body in a creek near her house.

In my opinion, Mary Kay Leourneau was and still is a rapist, and I would qualify her has a female sex offender. Leourneau was educated and knew right from wrong, she was an elementary school teacher and she was also a respected member of society (Mary Kay Letourneau Biography 2016). Even though her marriage had problems, in no way does this make it ok for her to become involved with a child? Vili Fualaau is a victim for life; she took this kid a 13-year-old adolescent with his hormone changes and swings. At this age boys bodies are experiencing physical changes combined with mental changes, what do boys at this age think about sex. She manipulated the situation to her liking, by having him in her home and becoming friends with her son (Mary Kay Letourneau Biography 2016). I can’t even think what kind of psychological mental abuse her children had to face. She's not sick in the sense she has a psychological problem(s) from her past or her marriage, she knew exactly what she wanted and went for it.

In comparison with other statutes, states such as Illinois, Kansas, New Jersey, Arizona and many others have statutes that authorize the confinement and treatment of sex offenders upon their release from prison (Lieb, 1996). For instance, Illinois Sexually Violent Predator Law defines a sexually dangerous person as “someome suffering from a mental disorder continually for at least one year, coupled with criminal propensities to the commisition of sex offenses, and who has demostrated propensities toward acts of sexual assault or acts of sexual molestation of children.” (Lieb, 1996, p. 16). Unlike Washington State, Illinois requires the individual to have at least one year of displaying a mental disorder. Illinois also has the option of either sentencing the individual for the crime committed, or offer treatment under the Civil Commitment Statute (Lieb, 1996). Unlike Illinois, Washington punishes the individual first and upon release he/she is evaluated to see if the individual fits under the category of a sexually violent predator. The state of Illinois appoints two qualified psychiatrists to determine whether the individual meets the criteria to be placed under civil commitment (Libel, 1996).

His father was a chemist and his mother was a homemaker. Dahmer was a normal child who enjoyed the normal childhood activities. The shift in his personality started when he was four and had to undergo a hernia operation. During this tough period of the surgery his mother was preoccupied with her own troubles and his father was busy building his career in chemistry. After the surgery, his personality began to change from being a jovial social child to a loner who was always withdrawn and uncommunicative. Jeffrey then started showing little to no interest in making friends or having hobbies, but would rather ride his bike around searching for dead animals. By his teenage years Jeffrey was classified as an alcoholic. His drinking escalated and was a huge issue following high school. His father made him enlist in the army, but he was kicked out due to alcoholism. His parents separated when he was eighteen. While his father was off on a job one day, his mother packed up his younger

After reviewing Bill Smith 's case file, making a step by step guideline, and completing the Washington State Offender Needs Assessment, I have been able to develop a three month case management plan for him. I will go over four main sections that complete the three month plan. These four sections are the type of counseling modality I will use, the treatment referrals that I will make, a detailed plan for each of the twelve weekly meetings, and a plan for evaluating Smith 's progress. Once this plan is in motion, I 'm confident that Smith will have a good transition into the community.

Sex offenders have been a serious problem for our legal system at all levels, not to mention those who have been their victims. There are 43,000 inmates in prison for sexual offenses while each year in this country over 510,000 children are sexually assaulted(Oakes 99). The latter statistic, in its context, does not convey the severity of the situation. Each year 510,000 children have their childhood's destroyed, possibly on more than one occasion, and are faced with dealing with the assault for the rest of their lives. Sadly, many of those assaults are perpetrated by people who have already been through the correctional system only to victimize again. Sex offenders, as a class of criminals, are nine times more likely to repeat their

To begin, Jeffrey Dahmer was born May 21, 1960 not too far from us in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. While Jeffrey was still young his dad worked a lot of time of time in his research center and his mom was a print machine educator. Caring for Jeffrey was very stressful on his Mother Joyce and every little thing Jeffery did seemed to irritate her. Eventually Jeffrey's dad Lionel decided to do what was right and him and Jeffrey moved to his mom's house in West Allis, however the split's in the marriage begun to demonstrate early. There were constant fights amongst Joyce and Lionel and Jeffrey acknowledged each of these fights. Just before Jeffrey turned 4 he was diagnosed with with a double hernia that he needed surgery on. He was scared by the surgery,

To begin, Jeffrey Dahmer was known for being a huge serial killer, born on May 21, 1960 and died on November 28, 1994. His life as a child was extremely different compared to other people. Jeff was considered to be a weird kid. No one would talk to Jeffrey. In a book called The Killers among Us, tells us the different stories of different serial killers in history. It tells us their stories and victims. The main section of the book that I read was in chapter 12, talks about the serial killer, Jeffrey Dahmer. The book tells us not only who he kills but how he would kill them. The chapter started off telling us his life as a child and his family. Jeffrey had a tough childhood he wasn’t liked by the other kids in his school, Jeffrey was looked at as being a weird kid. It eventually goes into his later life as being a killer then to his death in prison. Jeffrey would gruesomely kill his victims. There was a total of 17 men that he had killed. As a kid,

Sex offenders tend to blend in to society virtually unnoticed until they offend or reoffend (Polizzi, MacKenzie, & Hickman, 1999). Currently, there is a large group of mental health professionals representing a variety of disciplines, including psychology, psychiatry clinical social work, counseling, and medicine, that continue to believe in the potential efficacy of treating sex offenders. Over the past decade, the sex offender treatment field has grown rapidly and the treatment of juvenile sex offenders is on the rise (Parks & Bard, 2006). The rationale for treating juvenile offenders is based on research which indicates that inappropriate sexual behavior patterns develop early and a failure to intervene and change behavior early often means that the offender will continue to escalate his/her inappropriate behavior, which could present an even greater danger to society (Ayland & West, 2006). Vivian-Bryne, (2004) suggests that professionals who treat adult sex offenders report that offenders who are incarcerated will eventually return to the community and therefore, therapeutic measures should be taken to reduce the likelihood that they will reoffend even if those measures have not conclusively been identified as effective. Sexual offenders may find therapy valuable because it can allow them to retrace their upbringing to help them identify and understand the roots of their

Stories of sex offenders have been increasingly a focus of attention by the criminal justice system over the past years. By legal definition, a sex offender “is a person who is convicted of a sexual offense (Sex Offender Law & Legal Definition),” an act which is prohibited by the jurisdiction. What constitutes as a sex offense or normal/abnormal sexual behavior varies over time and place, meaning that it also varies by legal jurisdiction and culture. In the United States of America, for example, a person can be convicted of wide range of sexual behavior that includes prostitution, incest, sex with a minor, rape, and other sex offenses (Sex Offender Law & Legal Definition). As the nature of sex crimes have long held the

When working with this specific population mental health professionals are often called on to evaluate and manage sex offender’s behavior. There are also times when individuals may be asked to give an opinion as to if the offender will repeat the behavior. Often times people that work with this population are referred to as (SOSs) Sex Offender Specialists. They have a specific group of diverse training and background. Some of these trainings incIude but are not limited to cognitive-behavioral, psychopharmacological, and therapeutic orientations.

His background and early life mentioned earlier proves his actions of aggression and impulsivity. His diagnosis is ASPD comorbid with substance abuse, and accompanied with sadistic, necrophilia, and obsessive features. The sadistic and obsessive feature comes from his sexual pleasure to harm and control others. Also his obsessive features can be linked with his canabalism. “Dahmer reported that he felt an intense need of consuming the flesh of the dead body in order to incoporate the other in his own self, and he experienced this as a sexual sense of closeness and unification” (Martens,2011, pg.504). His necrophilia feature has been present sense his early adolescence. His low self-esteem, and unsocial behaviors may have easily led him down the path to developing ASPD and his other features. Jeffery’s mother also “suffered from hysteria, depression, suicidal

Jeffrey Dahmer was a sex offender and serial killer mainly between the years 1978 and 1991. He is well known for his severely atypical behaviors. Among his outward manners that are recognized as abnormal are paraphilia-specifically necrophilia and sexual sadism. Jeffrey Dahmer’s victims, whom were boys and men, suffered from rape, violence, dismemberment and finally their murders. Dahmer’s slow progression of killings soon turned into an obsession, which would later land him in prison with a sentence
