dc.description.abstract | The largest bodies of research regarding sexual offenses focus on punitive measures and intervention for adult offenders during and post-incarceration. Research concerning the sexual behavior in youth has been increasing over the past 30 years, with studies showing stark differences in recidivism rates between intervention during childhood and adults post-incarceration. As a result of this growing body of research, programs targeting childhood problematic sexual behavior have continued grow, spreading awareness of childhood sexual development and providing effective treatment for youth exhibiting sexual behavior problems. No single entity is responsible for governing or responding to childhood sexual behavior. The purpose of this project is to provide a standardized public health approach to the surveillance, monitoring, and intervention of childhood sexual behavior. The overall goal is to provide youth-facing professionals with the knowledge and skill to identify and appropriately respond to children with sexual behavior problems. The K.A.P.S. Manual for Problematic Sexual Behavior: A Guide to Building Better Futures Through Early Identification and Response to Problematic Sexual Behavior in Children includes modules on childhood development, including sexual development, identifying problematic sexual behavior, levels of responding, and continuing education opportunities. | en_US |
