V.1. Thesis - An empirical investigation of women's affective responses to filmed violence -- v.2. Professional portfolio - Unstructured clinical judgement in the assessment of sexual offenders |
| Summary |
This thesis examined the subjective emotional responses of women to depictions of violent and sexually violent film. Findings highlighted the significance of contextual factors, such as the gender of the perpetrator and victim upon viewers, and found that exposure to sexual violence in the media has important implications for women. The portfolio's four case studies demonstrate the complexities involved in making risk judgements and treatment planning given the diversity of offences and needs, as well as the implications these decisions can have when determining the amenability of offenders to specific sex offender treatment |
