Sexual fantasy is accepted as a driving force in sexual offending. Which of the following raises over this assumed simple link between fantasy and offending?
Correct answer: D. All of the above
- A. Sexual offences are often non- consummatory
- B. When treatment is mainly directed at reducing fantastic recidivism actually increases
- C. Unacceptable themes are found in the fantasy of 'normal' individuals but they don't have to be acted upon in order to have erotic effects
- D. All of the above
Explanation
The link between sexual fantasy and offending is not simple because non-offending people may have unacceptable fantasies without acting on them, some offences are non-consummatory, and narrowly targeting fantasy may have unexpected treatment effects. Therefore all three qualifications apply.
