dc.description.abstractUsing an integrated theoretical approach, this research drew upon psychological and criminological perspectives to investigate the origins of child sexual abuse through the person-situation framework. More specifically, it investigated early attachment-related vulnerabilities that may predispose individuals towards engaging in sexually abusive behaviour, and situational factors (e.g., opportunity structures and precipitating conditions) that enable and evoke such behaviour, in a sample of convicted adult male child-sex offenders.
