N2  - Attitudes towards sex offenders have been shown to impact upon treatment efficacy and are implicated in the successful reintegration of sex offenders into the community. The current study assessed the factor structure of the Community Attitudes Towards Sex Offenders-Revised (CATSO-R) scale, an 18-item questionnaire, in a Canadian sample. The CATSO-R was designed to measure attitudes and stereotypes towards sex offenders, and was intended for use with diverse populations. Although the results were broadly consistent with the developers' four-factor model, some inconsistencies were also noted. Further revision is warranted before the CATSO-R is widely adopted.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
