Overview
It has been known for quite some time that there are two categories of CSAM offenders, internet-only and mixed offenders.
Summary
CSAM offenders have no history of a contact sexual offense. Mixed offenders are, generally, defined as a CSAM offense with a historical or concurrent contact sexual offense. For years, mixed offenders were all lumped into one group and were not studied on their own to determine if they were a homogeneous group.
The Study: Mixed Offenders
In a study published in 2022, Babchishin, et. al., looked further into the issue. Specifically looking at whether or not the order in which a contact offense occurred in relation to the CSAM offense has any impact on the risk of recidivism.
The original data sample for this study was comprised of 387 Canadian men.
