4 103 REPLICATION AND COMPARISON NETWORKS interaction with the real-world context (Bos et al., 2019; Myin-Germeys et al., 2018; Stone & Shiffman, 1994). Visualization of personalized networks of dynamic risk factors in men with a history of sexual offenses can be used to complement current case formulations in clinical practice (Burger et al., 2020; Epskamp, van Borkulo, et al., 2018; Kroeze et al., 2017; von Klipstein et al., 2020). Although individual networks are not currently used within forensic treatment, their application could potentially increase the effectiveness of treatments in adult men with a history of sexual offenses. 4.4.4 CONCLUSION Network analysis is a useful tool to describe how dynamic risk factors interrelate. Using a large sample of men with a history of sexual offenses (BC; N = 4,511), we successfully replicated the findings from our previous network study (DSP; N = 803; van den Berg et al., 2020). Findings based on both samples suggest that treatment and risk management strategies that focus on (a) social rejection/loneliness, (b) cognitive problem-solving skills, (c) impulsive behavior, and (d) callousness might have the greatest potential in reducing recidivism. Significant social influences and capacity for relationship stability were less influential.
