SHB , young people and the internet

Since its inception the AIM Project have sought to enhance and develop practitioners' competence and confidence in assessing and intervening with children and young people who harm sexually. Over recent years we have become increasingly aware of the need to develop a greater understanding of children and young people who have accessed child abuse images on the internet.

Restorative Justice and Adolescent Sex Offending Conference

This national conference was a landmark in the fields of Restorative Justice and Sexually Harmful Behaviour. It brought together professionals in fields which have not had much contact until recently. In the field of restorative justice, many people have taken it as axiomatic that it cannot be used with sexual offences, because of power imbalances and the possibility of re-victimising the victim. In the field of sexually harmful behaviour, policies and practices have often concentrated on separate work with victims and offenders, with little communication between them, though it has long been acknowledged that being victimised and becoming an offender are often closely linked.
