Abstract
A great deal of effort has been made to use so-called objective measurements in men convicted of child sexual abuse in recent years. The aim of using these procedures is to measure sexual preference for children more effectively while being less vulnerable for deception and to add information to subjective reports. In this paper it was investigated why research activities in this area have increased and what so-called “objective” measurements can reveal about sexual offenders. This article will discuss possible pros and cons of the use of such procedures for forensic court reports or in the context of therapy in a forensic setting.
