Description
Summary:An analysis of the contributions to SAANZ over its first five issues finds several themes that have received considerable attention, such as theory development and offender profiling/assessment. A number of areas remain poorly represented, such as young offenders, internet offenders, or cultural aspects of offending, and some areas not at all. For instance, no papers on female offending and none on working with survivors of sexual abuse and their families have been received. A need exists to broaden the topics covered by SAANZ so as to meet its original guidelines and to promote research activity by professionals working in the field of sexual abuse.
