Epidemiology of French Sexual Offenders. A Cross-sectional Study

Recruiting now

Conditions studied: Psychiatric Disorder

In brief

The epidemiology of sexual offenders has been poorly studied in the literature. A retrospective and prospective study will allow for the examination of the clinical profile of sexual offense perpetrators, risk and recurrence factors, as well as psychiatric or medical treatment. Since 2015, the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region has 8 reference platforms for sexual offense perpetrators, offering personalized assessment according to criteria defined by the Regional Health Agency (ARS). After this assessment, a multidisciplinary meeting is organized to define a tailored care plan. This study, called ARAVS (Auvergne Rhone-Alpes Sexual Offenders), aims to conduct an epidemiological, clinical, and socio-demographic study of patients in these platforms.
