ABOUT RECIDIVISM

It's not yet a legend, but the belief that 'a sex offender will always keep being a sex offender' is widely spread. At least, convicted sex offenders are compulsory bound to undergo some kind of treatment. At worst, people want to keep them in lifelong custody. The Dutch professor Frenken has frequently been quoted in the newspapers and other media.

In this article I will review an article about a meta-analyse of 61 recidivism studies. Let's first have a look at the title, the authors and the summary the authors made of the article. Predicting Relapse: A meta-Analysis of Sexual Offender Recidivism Studies,R.

Pharyngula: Sex in the MRI

Of course I had, it’s a very fun bit of research…and then I realized I’d never mentioned it on the weblog before. I guess it’s because it’s focused entirely on the phylum Chordata, specifically one rather peculiar species—Homo sapiens. I probably just assumed nobody would be interested, because there aren’t any arthropods or molluscs in it. The paper is all about visualizing the arrangement of organs during coitus. People have tried to figure out how the pieces all fit together internally using cadavers and their imagination, by using a speculum and poking around with their fingers, and by clever tools, like hollow glass tubes shaped like a penis. This wasn’t easy. The participants (pairs of men and women) were recruited by personal invitation and through a local scientific television programme. Science porn! Dang.

Anyway, here is a sample of the results. Journal of Homeland Security and Emergency Management.
