![]() ![]() The findings suggest that offenders who restricted their offending behavior to online child pornography offences were different from mixed offenders and offline sex offenders against children, and that mixed offenders were a particularly high risk group. Mixed offenders were found to be the most pedophilic, even more than CPOs. CPOs were also more likely to have psychological barriers to sexual offending than sex offenders against children and mixed offenders (e.g., greater victim empathy). Sex offenders against children and mixed offenders were found to score higher on indicators of antisociality than online child pornography offenders (CPOs). ![]() Differences between the groups, however, were not limited to differential opportunities. In contrast, offenders who used the internet to commit sexual offences had greater access to the internet than those with contact sex offenders. Offenders who committed contact sex offences were more likely to have access to children than those with only child pornography offences. Based on 30 unique samples (comparison ns ranging from 98 to 2,702), the meta-analysis found key differences between groups. The current meta-analysis compared the characteristics of online child pornography-only offenders, typical (offline) sex offenders against children, and offenders with both child pornography and contact sex offences against children (mixed).
