Abstract
This thesis centres around the relationship between indecent images of children (IIOC) offending and suicide, and the impact of these issues on the partners of IIOC offenders. Part I is a conceptual introduction exploring IIOC offender suicide as a phenomenon and considering how several prominent theories of suicide may account for suicide in this population. Part II documents an empirical study investigating women’s experiences of their male partners being arrested for IIOC offences and subsequently developing suicidal ideation, or attempting or committing suicide. This utilised interpretative phenomenological analysis to analyse interview data from six participants, with three superordinate themes identified; A Living Nightmare, Something Needs to Change, and Adjustment & Adaptation. Part III of this thesis is a critical appraisal of the research process, focusing specifically on some key considerations when conducting research with partners of IIOC offenders.
