N2  - Despite speculation regarding the role of collateral consequences of sexual offender  policies in psychosocial and criminogenic outcomes, there has been no empirical  analysis in the extant literature examining these links. Lack of conceptual  underpinnings and no psychometrically valid measure of collateral consequences has  limited study in this area. A systematic literature review was conducted to assess  the state of measurement in terms of conceptual and operational definitions,  populations sampled, domains assessed, items used, and scale properties reported. Nineteen studies met inclusion criteria. Themes emerged regarding commonly assessed  collateral consequences, the misconnect between legal and psychological  conceptualizations of collateral consequences, the division between external (i.e.,  social) and internal (i.e., affective) collateral consequences, as well as a trend  toward emphasizing the psychological damages (in addition to discrete experiences of  loss) associated with a sexual offense. <br><br>FINDINGS are discussed, and a unifying  definition of collateral consequences is proposed to guide future scale development.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
