Overview
In this meta-analysis, the authors explain where the PPG excels and under what circumstances it falls short for predicting recidivism. This is a very important study if you are defending or evaluating a client whose crime is against a child.
Summary
A critical factor in almost every case of a sexual crime against a child is whether or not the perpetrator is a pedophile.
A discussion of the difference between pedophilia and Pedophilic Disorder as diagnosed by the DSM-V is beyond the scope of this summary. A client’s actual sexual interest in children is important to know both for risk assessment and treatment planning.
