"MAP"
Another term brought to you by a few forensic psychologists which makes people scratch their heads.
It comes from an org founded by a deceased sex offender and his therapist which appears to have some sort of therapy referral role. Forensic psychologists seem interested in it (because they like to study that sort of thing). It caught my attention as I read various bits of science, although barely for that reason.
It catches my attention a bit more because of QAnon. They imagine a cabal which might takeover the world (which is honestly giving them way too much credit). It becomes my issue because someone might come up with bad rights violating ideas because *they dislike this particular org* or that guy.
Given the rather evident social context, it's a term which might be used in a forensic adjacent manner (although, I don't like this term to begin with) out of convenience, or which might be passed through the Internet divorced of it's origin, although it is one which has mostly been phased out over the past few years.
To be fair, the sex offender claim comes from an unreliable source.
From what I've seen, those forensic psychologists use different terms all the time, especially over time. They don't seem to have a preference for a particular one. So, probably convenience.
