| dc.description.abstract | Background: Forensic practitioners conventionally accept that sexual fantasy plays a crucial role in the more serious forms of sexual offending. Fantasy is believed to escalate as part of an increasing cycle of offending severity. | en |
| dc.description.abstract | Aim: This paper explores the various possible roles of sexual fantasy in sex offending. | en |
| dc.description.abstract | Method: The research literature on the role of sexual fantasy in the sexual behaviours of offender and non-offender groups is surveyed. Using research evidence, the strengths of the different models that emerge are assessed. | en |
| dc.description.abstract | Results: Fantasy in non-offenders has been shown to be a separate domain of experience that serves to arouse sexually but does not guide behaviour. A number of different models of fantasy in offending are considered: (a) fantasy as a blueprint for offending | en |
| dc.description.abstract | (b) fantasy as a rehearsal for offending | en |
| dc.description.abstract | (c) fantasy as a means of sexual arousal | en |
| dc.description.abstract | (d) fantasy and offending having common origins | en |
| dc.description.abstract | and (e) fantasy enhancement/renewal as a cause of offending. | en |
| dc.description.abstract | Conclusions: It is argued that the study of sexual fantasy in non-contact sex offenders may have theoretical and practical benefits for research and practice with sex offenders in general. | en |
