A Description of Self Reports of Convicted Child Molesters Following Incarceration

Meg S. Kaplan

Sexual Behavior Clinic, New York State Psychiatric Institute; Department of Psychiatry, College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University, New York, New York, U.S.A.

Child molestation occurs at a rather high rate in the United States. A reduction may depend on the ability of law enforcement personnel to ascertain the extent to which a child molester continues to be interested in child molestation following incarceration. Seventyfour convicted child molesters under New York State Parole Supervision were interviewed in an attempt to determine: 1. whether or not they had received counseling; 2. if they perceived that counseling was effective; and 3. to identify which, if any, reported urges to molest children following incarceration.

Results indicated that most of the subjects had not received specific sexual counseling while incarcerated and that 80% reported that they were not in need of counseling. Implications of these findings are discussed as well as the need to educate parole officers concerning the importance of community after care.
