Shrnutí

"How incest offenders overcome their internal inhibitions against offending

Carolyn Copps Hartley (1998) also focused specifically on the cognitions incest perpetrators use to overcome their initial inhibitions against offending and to maintain their offending behavior once begun. This overcoming is calling according to Finkelhor disinhibition. The research design was qualitative grounded theory approach involving a series of three intensive interviews with eight male incest offenders currently in treatment for a sexual offence.
The cognitions identified were grouped into four separate categories: (1) Cognitions related to sociocultural factors, (2) Cognition used to overcome the fear of disclosure, (3) cognitions used to diminish responsibility, (4) cognitions related to permission seeking.

(1) Cognitions related to sociocultural factors
It includes messages, images or expectations of s society that offenders may use to disinhibition. First of all offenders talked about their knowledge of the weak sanctions against child sexual abuse in our society. They also believe that society is more tolerant or understanding of crimes committed while intoxicated so they uses alcohol as a way of disinhibition and a possible excuse if the abuse were disclosed.
Several offenders believed they didn’t cross any serious border because they didn’t have intercourse with child. According to author these cognitions may be based on society’s tolerance of sexual interest in children. Others convinced themselves that the relationship was adult–to–adult rather than adult-to-child. Some of them saw the abuse as an inevitable need or as a patriarchal right.

(2) Cognition used to overcome the fear of disclosure
Despite lack of serious consequences for sexually offending, fear of disclosure (stronger for some offenders then for others) is likely a significant inhibitor that must overcome for the abuse to occur. Several perpetrators overcome this fear based on their knowledge of conflict in the mother – daughter relationship. Another offender assumed his daughter would be afraid to hurt her mother. They also believed their partners would not believe the disclosure or would forgive them.
If the child did not disclose after the first incident or if the offender perceived child to be “interested” in the sexually contact, this also reduced the fear of disclosure. It is interesting that some offenders just pushed any concern out of their heads despite of the possible negative consequences of their actions."
