I am a PhD student and social work intern-soon-to-be clinician working with sex offenders in a private practice outpatient setting (adults, adults with ID, and adolescents). I would like to do my dissertation on a topic related to sexual offending that would be applicable to my clinical work, but I'm having a hard time coming up with realistic ideas that would be approved by an IRB. I'm particularly interested in the following topics, but limited research/accessibility of data on these topics make me nervous to committing to them: offenses related to use of CSEM, impact of sex and consent & power education programming on attitudes that support sex offending, transgender sex offenders and related treatment issues, use of self in clinical work by providers who are women, utilization of queer/feminist theories in clinical work with sex offenders, racial/ethnic disparities in sex offender adjudication and treatment and related treatment issues, treatment issues in couples/people in relationships wherein one partner offended while in the relationship, healthy management of sexual fetishism where sexual offending was also related to the fetish, etc. Thoughts? Ideas? Directions? Thank you!
