The Connaught Telegraph (Ireland) 1/5/2025 News Exploring British public attitudes and perceptions of the Prevention Project Dunkelfeld This study aims to investigate contemporary public attitudes towards individuals who committed sexual offences against minors, as well as their views on a community-based support service, based on the German Prevention Project Dunkelfeld. Through an online survey of 318 members of the UK general public, the research explored three areas: (1) attitudes towards people who committed sexual offences, measured using the Attitudes Towards Sexual Offenders (ATS-21) scale; (2) public opinion on the key features of the Prevention Project Dunkelfeld, a confidential and widely advertised service for individuals with paedophilic interests; and (3) the extent to which public attitudes may influence the provision of such programmes in the UK. Despite an overall undecided or slightly negative attitude towards individuals who commit sexual offences against children, the survey findings revealed that the public supports programmes similar to the Prevention Project Dunkelfeld. This suggests a recognition of the importance of preventative and rehabilitative measures in addressing child sexual abuse and providing support services for people with a sexual attraction to minors. This article aims to inform the development and implementation of prevention strategies and community-based support services for individuals with sexual attraction to minors and those at risk or convicted of child sexual abuse offences, taking into account public perceptions and attitudes. The goal is to help policymakers and practitioners in designing community-based services that align with societal perspectives while promoting effective prevention and rehabilitation efforts. This article highlights public attittudes as potential opportunities and challenges that may need to be addressed for a successful implementation and acceptance of community-based support services, such as the Prevention Project Dunkelfeld. The study contributes to developing evidence-based strategies for prevention and desistance of sexual crimes against minors as well as providing clinical and support services for people who are sexually attracted to minors to achieve a desired and legal level of sexual and partnership contentedness.

Policing Insight 1/5/2025 Advertisement, Feature Counter-radicalisation case management interventions: Findings from a Campbell systematic review This article sets out the findings of a Campbell systematic review examining the effectiveness and implementation of case management tools and approaches used to counter radicalisation to violence. This review found that the effectiveness of these tools and approaches remains poorly understood owing to the continued absence of robust impact evaluations. However, by breaking the case management process down into its constituent parts, from client identification to client assessment; case planning, implementation and delivery; monitoring and evaluation; through to exit and transition, this review was able to uncover a robust body of evidence relating to the implementation of different stages of the case management process, and programmes as-a-whole. Based on an analysis of 47 studies, the systematic review identified a range of factors that support the effective implementation of case management interventions. These include the availability of relevant tools; strong multi-agency working arrangements; intervention teams holding relevant knowledge and expertise; and adequate resourcing. In contrast, the absence of these factors can inhibit implementation, as can reliance on overly risk-oriented logics; public and political pressure; and the features of the legislative context within which programmes are delivered. The paper concludes by outlining the implications of the review, and discusses avenues for future research.
