520    Contrary to popular belief, not all sex offenders who 
       target children are pedophiles, and not all pedophiles 
       commit sexual offenses. But what is unequivocal is that 
       pedophilia, which is defined as a persistent sexual 
       interest in prepubescent children, is an emotionally 
       charged and controversial topic. Parents are 
       understandably worried about the safety and well-being of 
       their children and want to protect them from being 
       sexually exploited. Mental health and criminal justice 
       professionals want to learn more about the assessment 
       methods and intervention techniques that are available to 
       develop and implement effective policies and practices. In
       this book, Michael C. Seto addresses key concerns and 
       questions in dealing with these clinical populations: How 
       can pedophilia be detected? What causes pedophilia and 
       sexual offending against children, and what is the 
       relationship between the two? How do we assess risk to 
       sexually offend? Finally, what do we know about 
       intervention and prevention to reduce the occurrence of 
       sexual offenses against children? In addition to a 
       comprehensive synthesis of theory and research, the author
       demonstrates how this knowledge informs current treatment 
       practices with the inclusion of illustrative case examples,
       sample interview questions, assessment tools, and online 
       resources. -- Jacket. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2007
