THE CYCLE
This is the most common and basic cycle that a pedophile will have.
Each individuals cycle will vary, depending on him or hers situation. Many
pedophiles feel down or constantly depressed. This can be maginfied by
a stressful job, legal troubles, family break ups, etc. This is the most
crucial stage in getting help. After this stage, begins the acting out
or offending is very near. Some pedophiles will resort to the Internet
to view child pornographic material and not offend against children,
while others will make victims. Pedophiles will feel a sense of belonging
and love with their victim, but in turn, it can ruin the childs life. After
the act, many pedophiles will begin to feel ashamed of their actions, and
the worry of what will happen next. This can be magnified if the victim
comes forward, and the media comes into play.
Without proper help, the cycle will continue circling, even though
many know the consequences of their own actions.
During the recovery stage, if the person decides to get help, will
develop and understand their own crime cycle. This is very important in
the recovery process, because it allows you to work avoiding stressful
situations in which offending could occur.
