Offenders

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Criminology
  • Social Cognition

Background:

  • Sexual offending research highlights decision-making processes.
  • Offense planning can be explicit or implicit.
  • Implicit decisions are termed 'seemingly unimportant decisions'.

Observation:

  • Offenders exhibit implicit decision-making styles.
  • This implicit decision making appears automatic: fast, effortless, and less conscious.
  • It is associated with goal-dependent action plans.

Findings:

  • Two social cognitive mechanisms explain implicit offender decision-making.
  • These mechanisms are offense scripts and mental simulations.
  • Automatic, goal-dependent action plans underlie these decisions.

Implications:

  • Understanding implicit decision-making aids in offender profiling and intervention.
  • Future research should explore offense scripts and mental simulations.
  • This offers new hypotheses for sexual offending behavior.
