Crime :wave:

Don’t know if this is the right thread for this, but…

Anybody heard of the dunkelfeld project?

The German Dunkelfeld project: a pilot study to prevent child sexual abuse and the use of child abusive images.

KM Beier, D Grundmann, LF Kuhle, G Scherner, A Konrad and T Amelung, The journal of sexual medicine, Feb 2015

Sexual interest toward prepubescents and pubescents (pedophilia and hebephilia) constitutes a major risk factor for child sexual abuse (CSA) and viewing of child abusive images, i.e., child pornography offenses (CPO). Most child sexual exploitation involving CSA and CPO are undetected and unprosecuted in the "Dunkelfeld" (German: "dark field").This study assesses a treatment program to enhance behavioral control and reduce associated dynamic risk factors (DRF) in self-motivated pedophiles/hebephiles in the Dunkelfeld.Between 2005 and 2011, 319 undetected help-seeking pedophiles and hebephiles expressed interest in taking part in an anonymous and confidential 1-year-treatment program using broad cognitive behavioral methodology in the Prevention Project Dunkelfeld. Therapy was assessed using nonrandomized waiting list control design (n=53 treated group [TG]; n=22 untreated control group [CG]).Self-reported pre-/posttreatment DRF changes were assessed and compared with CG. Offending behavior characteristics were also assessed via self-reporting.No pre-/postassessment changes occurred in the control group. Emotional deficits and offense-supportive cognitions decreased in the TG; posttherapy sexual self-regulation increased. Treatment-related changes were distributed unequally across offender groups. None of the offending behavior reported for the TG was identified as such by the legal authorities. However, five of 25 CSA offenders and 29 of 32 CPO offenders reported ongoing behaviors under therapy.Therapy for pedophiles/hebephiles in the Dunkelfeld can alter child sexual offending DRF and reduce-related behaviors. Unidentified, unlawful child sexual exploitative behaviors are more prevalent in this population than in officially reported recidivism. Further research into factors predictive of problematic sexual behaviors in the Dunkelfeld is warranted.

Translates (I think) as “dark field” from German…Basically it’s an anonymous community for those who have sexual preferences for pubescent (hebophilia) and pre-pubescent (paedophilia) children. Takes the form of a one-year treatment program aimed at reducing incidence of both actual sexual abuse and the use of illegal pornographic material (one of the groups principals is abstinance from child pornography). Research into the effects is only a few years old, so there isn’t any reliable supportive evidence yet…but it’s interesting to look at boundaries in this country.

Stopitnow (http://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/stopso-crisis-campaign/) is perhaps the main parallel in the U.K. but, as you can see by it requiring a crowdfunding page, the funding for it does not cover the 2000+ calls received on a monthly basis. Nor does it have any sustainable access to therapeutic or pharmacological interventions. The problem is that public support for this kind of thing would be minimal…the discourse around child sex offending is still dominated by anger…and any expression of inappropriate desire would be treated criminally from the offset.

I think we need a change in attitude…

On a lighter note…

It does indeed mean Dark Field (caps in case anyone would like to start a band called that)

Stop stirring.

wonton · 2018-01-26T13:09:05.276Z

I think alludes to the majority number of people who have these preferences…but are unknown to society because they keep it hidden

wonton · 2018-01-26T13:09:44.112Z

Both of you are doing a fine job of that yourselves…

And for balance, here’s a low point:

Think my dad shoplifted some German fruit bread at Christmas time.

Well he told us it was stollen anyway

OOOH, the thread title means “crime wave”.

my favourite is everyone being needlessly condescending and shitty to everyone else. Think we should all quit the internet

any banksies on here?

Bamnan · 2018-01-26T13:34:02.919Z

and yes this includes me for the record

Nonsense. It’s “crime hi”, which is obviously “crime high”.

what do you reckon the perfect thread to get loads of replies on DiS would be?

Rick Stein presents: which is better - shoplifting or The Last Jedi?

I definitely think beeves over a well-known franchise could clock up a fair few responses.
