Addressing common myths and misconceptions about sexual offending, this book highlights the current state of scientific knowledge about the origins and the development of sexual offending. It offers a critical overview of current criminal justice policies and close to 100 years of research on how to best improve these policies through theoretically-grounded and methodologically-rigorous research. Focusing on proactive prevention-oriented strategies, this book revisits popular ideas about sexual offending through an evidence-based lens, addressing ideological and populist discourse that has led to ineffective and reactive policies. It advocates for a clearly defined concept of the phenomenon of sexual offending to underpin research and treatment. Uniquely, authors consider sexual offending from the viewpoint of criminal justice research and practitioners, incorporating the sociohistorical construction of sexual offending as a social problem, developmental life course research, and the impact of social policies. This book is a call for more proactive research on the origins and the development of sexual offending over the life course.

Jessie "Byma" Bolt was a vigorous piano player and a stern supporter of table manners. She wore a brace on her right leg and a thick sole on her shoe. To her granddaughter, Linda Bolt Whitlock, who was just fourteen when Byma passed away, these were the only things she knew for sure about her grandmother. As she later discovered, there was much more to Byma's life than that. In this fictionalized account of a true story, Whitlock pays tribute to Bolt 's ability to overcome countless struggles throughout her life. Starting in childhood when Jessie is first afflicted with polio, the touching story documents her life throughout the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries-as she witnesses the election of Abraham Lincoln and the aftermath of the Civil War while bearing the lasting effects of her early illness. But just as Jessie recounts Bolt 's difficulties, it also honors her triumphs. A fierce determination characterized her life; it allowed her to walk, ride horses, and even receive an education while shaping her into the person that Whitlock fondly remembers.
