The conceptualization of dynamic risk factors in child sex offenders: an agency model

Pamela M. Yates, +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that none of these models singly is sufficient to guide the assessment and treatment of sexual offenders, and that an integrated model that draws on research and practice in the development of case formulation, is most likely to be effective in achieving the goals of reduced recidivism, risk reduction, and reduced rates of sexual victimisation.
