Despite over 50 years of research, limited evidence exists regarding a connection between pornography and sexual offending, which individuals are most likely to be affected by pornography, and the broader implications of this purported relationship. Prior meta-analyses have included studies that use a wide range of different methodologies but have not isolated the effects of pornography in samples of individuals that perpetrated a sex offense. We examined the association between pornography (only legal content, child sexual abuse material was not included) and sexual offending in studies that included samples of individuals that had admitted to or been convicted of a sex offense (persons identified as committing a sexual offense (s); PISOs). In addition, we examined several potentially relevant moderator variables that could impact the relationship between pornography and sex offending. Using Robust Variance Estimation, the main effect was non-significant, = 0.18, 95 % CI [−0.09, 0.46], which further questions whether pornography is associated with various offender populations. However, several moderator analyses generated significant results, including method used to identify PISOs and living status (institutionalized versus living in the community). Tentative conclusions based on these results are discussed, along with implications for future research.

有性犯罪史的个人使用色情内容与性犯罪之间的关联：荟萃分析


尽管经过 50 多年的研究，关于色情制品和性犯罪之间的联系（哪些人最有可能受到色情制品的影响）以及这种所谓关系的更广泛影响的证据仍然有限。之前的荟萃分析包括使用多种不同方法的研究，但并未在实施性犯罪的个人样本中分离出色情内容的影响。我们在研究中研究了色情内容（仅包含合法内容，不包括儿童性虐待材料）与性犯罪之间的关联，这些研究包括承认或被定罪的性犯罪者（被确定犯有性犯罪的人）的样本。 ）；此外，我们还研究了几个可能影响色情内容和性犯罪之间关系的潜在相关调节变量。使用稳健方差估计，主效应不显着，= 0.18，95% CI [−0.09，0.46]，这进一步质疑色情制品是否与各种犯罪人群相关。然而，一些主持人分析产生了显着的结果，包括用于识别 PISO 和生活状态（机构化与社区生活）的方法。讨论了基于这些结果的初步结论，以及对未来研究的影响。
