As it explores how cognitive-behaviourism structures treatment it uncovers a therapeutics grounded in risk that actively constructs the identity of the sex offender. It shows how the management of risk relies on techniques of introspection and self-discipline-a patient's internalization of his crime cycle and relapse prevention plan-that target primarily sexual fantasies. These self-policing techniques radically transform the sex offender into a species entirely consumed by sex. cOxforddJanuary 2008vVol. 48, n. 1tBritish Journal of Criminology (The)x0007-0955pp. 55-74 aCRIME SEXUAL aESTADOS UNIDOS aLACOMBEbDany
