cognition, impulsivity, emotional regulation, sexuality, diagnosis, sexual violence, motivation, self-esteem, social desirability, and defense mechanisms: self-administered questionnaires
Study summary
The epidemiology of sexual offenders has been poorly studied in the literature. A retrospective and prospective study will allow for the examination of the clinical profile of sexual offense perpetrators, risk and recurrence factors, as well as psychiatric or medical treatment. Since 2015, the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region has 8 reference platforms for sexual offense perpetrators, offering personalized assessment according to criteria defined by the Regional Health Agency (ARS). After this assessment, a multidisciplinary meeting is organized to define a tailored care plan. This study, called ARAVS (Auvergne Rhone-Alpes Sexual Offenders), aims to conduct an epidemiological, clinical, and socio-demographic study of patients in these platforms.

Primary outcome measure(s)
Risk of re-offending and associated factors of the participant — From May 2024 to May 2027 Sexual offender recidivism risk will be assessed using Static99 scale. The Static-99 (Hanson \& Thornton, 2000) is the most commonly used actuarial risk tool for estimating sexual offender recidivism risk.The risk assessment instrument Static-99R consists of ten items, where all but items 1 and 5 are dichotomous, resulting in 0 or 1 point being added to the total score. The total score, between -3 and 12, results in one out of five recommended risk levels: level I - very low risk (scores of -3 to -2), level II - below average risk (scores of -1 to 0), level III - average risk (scores of 1 to 3), level IVa - above average risk (scores of 4 to 5), and level IVb - well above average risk (scores of 6+).
