Female Sex Offenders: A Comparison of Solo Offenders and Co-Offenders
Vandiver, Donna M., Violence and Victims
Even though much of the prior sex offender literature focuses on males, recent research has included females as offenders. Such research, however, has been limited by small sample sizes. Several researchers have proposed typologies of female sex offenders that include both females who act alone (i.e., solo offenders) and females who act with another person (i.e., co-offenders), often a male. The current research includes a cross-national sample of 123 females who were solo offenders and 104 who were co-offenders. It was found that the two groups of females were not significantly different in regard to their age, race, time of offense, and the location of the offense. Co-offenders were more likely than solo offenders to have more than one victim, to have both male and female victims, to be related to the victim, and to have a nonsexual offense in addition to the sexual offense listed.
Keywords: female sex offender; solo offender; co-offender; logistic regression
Much of the prior literature on sex offenders has focused solely on males (see Barnard, Fuller, & Robbins, 1989; Knight, Rosenberg, & Schneider, 1985; Kuznestov & Pierson, 1992; Prentky, Cohen, & Seghorn, 1985; Rosenberg, Knight, Prentky, & Lee, 1988); recently, however, sex offender research has included female offenders (see Denov, 2004; Lewis & Stanley, 2000; Nathan & Ward. 2002; Vandiver & Kercher, 2004). Official law enforcement reports for 2002 (U.S. Department of Justice, 2003) indicate that females were arrested for 6.7% of sex offenses (forcible rape and other sex offenses, excluding prostitution). Some researchers, however, have suggested official numbers of female sex offenders are underestimated (Finkelhor, Hotaling, Lewis, & Smith, 1990). Sex offenses, in general, often go unreported to law enforcement. Females may be better able to hide the offense by engaging in such offenses during normal child-rearing practices, such as bathing, dressing, and other normal routine tasks (Groth & Birnbaum, 1979). Additionally, the cases reported to law enforcement do not always result in an arrest (Allen, 1991). It is often perceived that females simply cannot sexually assault another person; society has been geared towards assuming sex offenders are only males and females are incapable of committing such offenses (Denov, 2004).
Prior research on female sex offenders has been limited by small sample sizes, making it difficult to generalize to larger groups; fewer than 12 studies have used samples greater than 30. With the exception of one study (see Vandiver & Kercher, 2004), studies have utilized no more than 100 female sex offenders in their sample. Other studies have relied on extremely small samples, ranging from only one to nine female sex offenders or victims of female sexual abuse (see Chasnoff, Burns, Schnoll, Burns, Chisom, & Kyle-Spore, 1986; Chow & Choy, 2002; Krug, 1989; Margolis, 1984; Marvasti, 1986; Peluso & Putnam, 1996; Rowan, Rowan, & Langelier, 1990; Travin, Cullen, & Protter, 1990). Even though the studies have provided a great deal of descriptive data, the information is limited in that it is not possible to assess complex relationships among the variables.
Prior research has also been limited in the source of the sample of offenders (Vandiver & Kercher, 2004). Much of the research has relied upon clinical samples, which may not be representative of female sex offenders in that it includes a psychologically impaired sample. Prison samples have also been utilized, which include only the most serious offenders. Prison samples do not include those who are placed on probation or receive another form of community supervision. It also excludes those who are circumvented from the criminal justice system altogether. Additionally, few studies have included cross-national samples. Including only localized samples leads to poor generalizability.
Despite the development of information regarding characteristics of females who have committed sex offenses, a paucity of information exists in regard to the differences of females who act alone and females who act with a co-offender. …

Panel Statement
I focus my remarks on the implications of the monetary policy response to the crisis for inflation and/or deflation and discuss the following questions: Have we successfully avoided deflation and a great depression in its wake? Will the expansion of central banks' balance sheets eventually result in unacceptable inflation? Have unconventional measures impaired central bank credibility and/or compromised central bank independence? What are the potential lessons from history for central bank policies in the future?

Differences between spectrally selective and conventional films in:
…blocking UV. Blocking UV is a function of both the film's components and of the physical properties of the film itself. Both films block a significant amount of UV.
…blocking heat. The lower the shading coefficient, the lower the solar heat gain. Conventional, tinted films transmit more than 65 percent of solar energy and have a shading coefficient of 0.70. Some reflective films with a shading coefficient as low as 0.28 transmit as little as 15 percent of visible light. When considering heat rejection and light transmission, spectrally selective films outperform conventional.
…clarity. The best spectrally selective film transmits up to 70 percent of visible light, and in doing so possesses a clear appearance.
…cost. Tinted and reflective window film costs range from $4 to $6 per installed square foot. Spectrally selective window film ranges in price from approximately $9 to $12 per square foot installed.

"Honestly, there is no decent price for a coffee in any of these
places." Paula groaned, as we walked over to the counter and
ordered two vanilla ice coffees in Starbucks. This was pretty
humorous as Paula's dad was actually very wealthy, and pays a
very large amount of funds to the school. This is why Paula gets
away with rather a lot.
"Yeah, well, we could have just gone back to mine for a coffee but you insisted on going out after school, so stop moaning." I smirked.
She sighed as we took our order and went to sit on one of the sofa's nearest a window.
"Oh, look it's Kie!" Paula whispered loudly and pointed over my shoulder. I turned round to see him sitting there with one of his mates, he gave me a small smile and an awkward wave. I mouthed 'Hey' then turned back to Paula.
"Oh, he is totally crushing on you Allie." she giggled. I rolled my eyes and took a sip of my Ice coffee, resulting in brain freeze.
"You two should date." she said in all seriousness.
Kie was cute, he had really nice deep blue eyes and cute dimples, and I'm not going to lie, I've bumped into him a few times after he had showered at sport. But I just wasn't ready for a relationship right now. Besides everyone knows I don't like that mushy love stuff.
"Will you stop." I smiled and looked out the window.
"Oh yeah, I forgot you are all hooked up over this Aaron guy." I almost choked on my coffee.
"I am not!!!" I turned towards her and slammed my coffee onto the table.
"Oh are you kidding me, I saw the way you were looking at him in class this morning." Okay, maybe I was a little intrigued by him, I mean, he's so mysterious. But I don't like him!
"No, no you have got it all wrong!" I exclaimed.
But before I could explain, my phone rang. I held up my finger to Paula and fumbled for it in my bag, I managed to find it and I answered. It was mum.
Mum: Allie, where the heck are you?"
Me: I'm just in Starbucks, why?
Mum: It's half six! Leave now!
Me: Why?? It's only early!
Mum: It takes you an hour to get home!
Me: Ugh, fine.
"Who was that?" Paula asked curiously.
"Just my mum, don't worry about it." I grunted putting my phone back in my bag, leaning back and picking up my coffee.
"So, about this Aaron guy. Why don't you put a bit of effort into getting him to like you?" She says.
"Because I don't like him and anyway, I'm not going to change myself just so he will like me." I crossed my legs and watched the people behind the desk use the coffee machine.
"Umm, Ahem." I looked back to see Kie standing before me clearing his throat.
"Oh, Hi Kie!" I said almost too cheerfully.
"Hey Allie, I was just leaving now and I wondered if you wanted to catch the bus with me." He asked, his hands in his pockets.
"Oh sure!" It was probably a good idea before my mother had a hissy fit.
I stood up, handing Paula a two pound coin to pay her back for the coffee. She shook her head and pushed my hand away. She stood up and pulled me in for a hug.
"Good luck." She whispered into my ear, not too subtly. I laughed and pulled away shaking my head.
"Okay, let's go." I said and slung my bag over my shoulder walking out the door. He followed me and joined me by my side as we walked up to the bus stop.
"So, how are you finding your studies at the moment?" He asked looking out towards the distance.
"Are you kidding me?!" I spluttered.
"You're going to ask me about my 'studies?'" I raised my eyebrows.
He grinned, showing his perfect straight white set of teeth.
"I was just making conversation…" He shrugged.
"Well, I'm finding them fine I guess, you?" I answered seriously.
He laughed.
"Your right, this is a boring conversation." He admitted as our bus pulled up.
We sat near the back, I took the window seat. His hands were shaking a little. Aw, bless him.
"So, where about do you live?" Gosh, Thumbs up for sounding like a complete pervert Allie.
"Just off the drive. You?" he replied calmly.
"Oh, just two stops after." I smiled and looked ahead. Talk about awkward.
"So, Allie, I was wondering… do you maybe want to hang out one day after school?" Oh god, here we go.
"Look… Kie, I just got out of a pretty serious relationship. Your great, but I don't think I'm ready for a boyfriend right now…" I lied.
"Oh, okay no problem." He smile, but it was not one of those sincere smiles, it didn't't quite reach his eyes.
"Well, I guess this is your stop then." I said as we pulled up.
I watched as his Adam's apple bobbed in his throat.
"Yeah, I guess." He leaned in for a hug and I gave him one, before he stood up and escaped the bus.
I think I felt my heart crack at that very moment. I'd never seen somebody so disappointed.
As I got off the bus, it just started to rain. I sighed and pulled my hood up, before making my way down the road, It was quite dark now and nobody was around.
I gripped onto my bag tightly and sped up.
"Hey love!" Well, I was wrong in thinking there was nobody around.
"Where are you going wait up!" I stopped and turned round to see a tall man heading towards me.
"Where are you going then?" he smirked, and I felt the breath of another ban behind me. I turned round as one of them gripped my bag. I stumbled but another man caught me.
"Let's see, nothing in here that's worth much boys." The tallest, oldest looking man said.
"Let's see if she can give us something." The one holding me whispered.
"No, please…" I said, and the man started to pull my coat off of me.
"STOP." A voice came, from about five meters away.
"Get. Off. Her." A hooded figure walked out of the darkness.
"Or what? You'll take us all out?" The man said still trying to remove my clothes and laughing.
"I was planning on it." The hooded figure murmured as he ran up
and swung a fist at the man's face, he fell to the floor and
gripped his face. Redness coated his hand. He then turned to the
one in front of me and threw him onto the floor, kicking him in
the face three times before swiftly turning round.
"ANYONE ELSE!?" he shouted. But the other two men and scurried off without another word.
I wiped my nose as the tears kept rolling down my face.
"Thank you. Thank you so much." I whimpered.
He put a finger to my lips and pulled my coat back over my shoulders, pulling me forward he placed a small kiss on my lips. Before disappearing into the darkness.
That was my first kiss, and I didn't even know who gave it to me.

(TSX-V | OYL) TORONTO, Oct. 2, 2013 /CNW/ - CGX Energy Inc. (TSX-V - OYL) ("CGX Energy" or the "Company") is pleased to provide the following update on its activities relating to the continued exploration on the Company's Petroleum Prospecting Licenses ("PPLs") in Guyana. Joint Venture Initiatives CGX Energy continues to actively pursue strategic joint venture partners for all three of its PPLs and has a technical data room open at its Houston office. As part of the joint venture process, the Company is currently preparing to re-process a portion of its 3D seismic data set for the Corentyne Block, which should be completed by year-end. In addition, the Company has granted Repsol Exploracion, S.A. permission to acquire seismic data in portions of the Corentyne Block when acquiring a new 3D seismic survey in the Kanuku Block during the fourth quarter of 2013. The data acquired in the Corentyne Block during this survey will be provided to the Company at no additional cost. Cost Cutting Initiatives During the third quarter, CGX Energy continued to focus on cost cutting initiatives in order to reduce the size of the Company to better reflect current operations. As a result of these initiatives, the Company's general and administrative costs have decreased by approximately 30% on a per month basis, since April, 2013. Share Consolidation On July 9, 2013, the Company completed the consolidation of its issued and outstanding common shares (the "Common Shares"). The Common Shares were consolidated on the basis of 10 pre-consolidation shares for each post-consolidation share. Dewi Jones, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented: "CGX Energy is undergoing a transformation in preparation for the next stages of exploration in Guyana. By leveraging the technical expertise of Pacific Rubiales in Latin America, we believe that we can secure new joint venture partners to develop our extensive offshore acreage. With our lower costs and improved capital structure, the Company is well positioned for the future. We are excited about the progress we have made thus far and look to end the year stronger than when we entered into 2013." About CGX Energy CGX Energy is a Canadian-based oil and gas exploration company focused on the exploration of oil in the Guyana-Suriname Basin.

Day Three Southern Divisional Results
Salem, Oregon; Alan Olsen (R-Canby), an avid fisherman and past president of the Oregon B.A.S.S. Federation, has been elected to the Oregon State Senate to represent Senate District 20. He will immediately be putting his natural resources and sports fisherman expertise to use on the Senate Environment and Natural Resources Committee, where he has been appointed as Vice Chair.
There's nothing bigger in the bass fishing world than the Classic, and maybe I can make it even more interesting.
B.A.S.S. Federation Nation schedule
I use to participate in teaching events lots back in the '70s and '80s and as I looked at the crowd in Shreveport, I realized it was the same group of people that I talked to 30 and 40 years ago.
Ralph Steve DeBord maintained his spot atop the leaderboard after Day Three of the Toyota Tundra Bassmaster Weekend Series National Championship, but things are a whole lot tighter with one day left to fish.
B.A.S.S. pro, Brandon Palaniuk, wins the 2010 Federation Nation Championship. It was this win that earned Palaniuk an invitation to compete in the Elite Series.
This photo gallery features images from day three of competition at the 2010 B.A.S.S. Federation Championship.

Sheriff's Office failed when we needed it
Published: Wednesday, May 7, 2008 at 11:58 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, May 7, 2008 at 11:59 a.m.
But when we had her funeral the funeral home (Shulers) called the city police and the county Sheriff's Office to give them notice of a funeral escort.
The Hendersonville City Police was there and did a great job, but the Sheriff's Office didn't show up and there were several very close calls where the coach (hearse) was nearly hit because there was no escort from the Sheriff's Office.
They ask for a day's notice and they can't get one car to give a funeral escort, and the thing is, this has happened a few times now the Sheriff's Office being a no-show.
What gets me is we pay taxes for the services and yet in the most and worst time of need for a family, the Sheriff's Office won't do its job.

Windows Desktop Sharing API Basics
Microsoft Terminal Services provides a public "Windows Desktop Sharing API" based on RDP to enable customers to write custom collaboration solutions in Windows Vista. These API's are available on all the SKU's starting with Windows Vista Home Basics. You can write a customized collaboration application that can do either or all kinds of sharing including desktop, application and region. Useful MSDN documentation of these API's is available at:
Windows desktop sharing is a multi-party screen sharing technology in Windows Vista, wherein a local desktop can be transmitted over an RDP connection without creating an additional session.
Microsoft Collaboration Solutions:
"Windows Meeting Space" and "Remote Assistance" in Windows Vista are based on these public API's -
API support versus perceived limitations in Windows Meeting Space:
Frequently Asked Questions:
Have you look at the SmartSizing API. Link to the API - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa373358(VS.85).aspx. It is part of IRDPSRAPIViewer interface,
I'm working on a custom remote access application for Windows XP Embedded. Any plans to support Windows Desktop Sharing API on XPe? If not, can you recommend another solution?
Same question here: I need to support anything from Windows XP SP2 and up. If RTC is gimped on Vista, and the Vista APIs are not available on XP SP2, then how can I cross-communicate?
I could use RealVNC, or Citrix, or something like that, but it seems Microsoft has enough technologies floating around that this ought to be possible without resorting to that...
Are Desktop Sharing working on Windows 7?
Many people have asked: Yes, remote desktop sharing works on Win7. I have a 64-bit desktop and a 32-bit netbook, both running 7, and using the ActiveX controls for hosting and viewing.
However, when I click the "control desktop" button in the sample application, and then click in the viewing control, it just beeps at me; it doesn't actually let me share control. The hosting application does receive the request, and does assign "Control" level access in the event handler.
Why does this not work as advertised?
Also, why can't I get access to the RDP stream at a lower level? I'd really like to be able to get the bitmap data directly (because I'm rendering to something that's not the screen), and I'd really like to be able to inject mouse and keyboard events directly (because I'm using input devices that are not the physical devices).
As it is, I'm trying to host the ActiveX control and use IViewObject to Draw() into an offscreen bitmap, and it's not working out very well so far...
I have the same problem as Jon has:
I'm unable to draw the contents of the RDP ActiveX control using IViewObject.
Is it possible at all to somehow render the contents of the RDP session managed by RDP ActiveX into the virtual device context (straight into memory)?
If it is not, it there any workarounds?
I believe Microsoft has not implemented IViewObject for RDP Active X because they did not want people to write RDP plugins for FireFox. God damn Microsoft!
I am trying to use this API in an MDI application. Whenever I create the child form I get a "Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt." error.
Does anyone know why?
Are there any samples available for creating a screen sharing application using this API?
How can i access
Property for RDPViewer object?
Can we set the 'local' port to use for RDPViewer?
While the desktop sharing session is running, if the local user locks the screen, the remote user unable to unlock it. Is it a limitation of this control?
more ever, If there is no user logged in, and desktop sharing server is running as a service, then will it be possible for remote user to unlock the desktop and log in?
I mean, can this control also be used for un-attendant remote desktop control, just like Windows remote desktop?
Secondly, I am not able to send Alt+Ctrl+Del (or Alt+Ctrl+END) keys from remote session. I want to see CPU usage etc, while sharing the remote desktop.
Can anyone please guide me to find out how to achive this?
Thanks in advance.
I am trying to enhance this Desktop Sharing application available at the link below, and facing a problem:
(I think) The Limitation of this control is:
Consider two types of users: Physical user who actually sits in front of the machine and uses its actual keyboard, mouse and monitor. And Remote User: Who remotely shares the desktop.
While the desktop is being shared, if physical user press Ctrl+Alt+Del to open the Windows Security Dialog, then the sharer stop sharing the desktop until the user is back to normal screen by choosing any of the option like task manager, or by pressing 'Esc key'.
This is because the sharer is running in user context.
But when I tried to run the sharer application as a system process or as a service, then the sharer does not share the session (session-0) at all.
My Aim: You probably have guessed it by now…
Yes. I want the sharer to share the desktop, no matter whether the use has locked the desktop, or even if there is no user logged in.
NOTE: To make it simple, I am trying this only on client OS - Windows 7. So no question of multiple sessions as in Windows 2008. in that case, I would like to share Session 0 always.
I tried to look more into it, but couldn't find anything other than working of Terminal Services on Server OS:
Can you please guide me on how and where to start with, or where I can find more details about working of rdpencom.dll?
Any kind of help, suggestions are really apreaciated.
How many viewers can simultaneously connect to a sharer?
In my test, I can only have 3 viewer to connect to a sharer simultaneously.
Is this correct? or
Is there any way to allow more viewers?
Thanks in advance.
Hi, is there any way to connect pc/machine remotly using above API with Static IP Address via internet?
Please let me know if you have any solutions.
Thank you!

Results 1 to 6 of 6

I don't really know how to say this
So I'll just say it, (with lots of disclaimers to follow).
I think our first game this year is absolutely HUGE!
If we win that game, (no matter how), it is going to go a long way towards INSTANTLY changing the mindset of our entire team. They have beat us eight straight, (some resoundingly and some squeakers), but eight nonetheless.
We are getting no respect, (and don't deserve it); Seattle is, and is getting a pass for last year due to injuries, (which we never did, but that's yesterday's news), and it's on the road against (in my mind now), our most hated rival.
I would go so far as to say, if we win, we are looking at a guaranteed 9 wins, and maybe more.
(Disclaimer 1): If we lose, we'll win the predicted 5-6 games, which I really am OK with, given the state of the team when Spags took over.
But I can just see Spags quietly, in his own intense way, telling the team after the game; "See...! See what happens when you focus and play with intensity, when you play as a team, when you pay attention to the little things, when you trust and believe in each other?"
(Disclaimer 2) Again, if the Rams play well and lose, but can walk off the field with their heads up, and leave the Seahawks thinking, "those were not the Rams we've played the last 4 years", I'll be fine, and in no way will think the season's history.
It's just that (IMO) winning would have an incredible impact on the team's attitude...
...one that would stay with the team the whole year, and one that Spags could point to the whole season and say, "Remember opening day, on the road, against our fiercest rival, in a hostile environment...?"

Re: I don't really know how to say this
I agree with you, this game is huge. With how bad this team was last year, we need to come out of the gates in the lead. It would show them that this team is not even close to last years team.

Re: I don't really know how to say this
I can't argue with that. When you've lost as much as we have it is absolutely HUGE how we perform in the first game. If we get steamrolled on the ground for 300 yards and our offense sputters and can't produce a touchdown but settles for field goals no one is going to think "it's only one game" - everyone will be thinking "here we go again" and that's going to drag us down and hurt the team a lot mentally.
The first game is H-U-G-E.

Re: I don't really know how to say this
Agree !!
Don't listen to the EXPERTS. Thier o-line is not what it was, (four sacks in 57 passes) and with thier big LT out, our new defense has a good chance of really getting to Brady Jr. Got to also remember that there is virtually NO FILM on this new defense. Not in regular season form that is. Lot's of tricks unrecorded come September 13th in Seattle !!!

Re: I don't really know how to say this
I think the biggest problem for the Rams in Seattle will be continuity. The o-line hasn't been together since the first week of camp. Donnie Avery has missed almost all of camp and Bulger still needs to develop timing with his new center and new receivers. Peyton Manning missed a lot of time in preseason last year and said it took half the season to catch up. He said even handoffs become trouble if you don't practice them. Throw in the fact this team is learning a new system.... If Seattle had these difficulties we'd be thrilled at the opportunity.
