Acting out among perpetrators of sexual offenses (AICS) against minors mobilizes cognitive processes, such as moral disengagement mechanisms (MDM). MDMs help reduce moral dissonance between the act and internal or external norms and are based on cognitive distortions that are erroneous representations regarding sexuality. The research aimed to identify the MDMs present in these AICS and to consider individual and inter-individual variability in their use. The study also aimed to compare the use of MDMs according to the recognition (total, partial) or not of the facts. 18 AICS were interviewed within the same penitentiary establishment as part of individual semi-structured interviews. After a thematic analysis that identified 325 corpora, 3 evaluators then individually classified them according to the classification of 8 MDMs proposed by Bandura. The study revealed a significant presence of MDMs associated with cognitive distortions regarding sexuality. Individual and inter-individual variability is also significant both in terms of the number of MDMs mobilized and the frequency of occurrence of each of these MDMs. There is an overall tendency towards external attributions which refer to the links between the action and its effect. AICS who do not recognize the facts mobilize more frequently MDMs related to the perception of transgressive behavior and less frequently MDMs referring to the victim.

Over recent years, the labour shortage in various economic sectors in New Brunswick has led many businesses in the province, as in the rest of Canada, to seek international workers. However, given New Brunswick's demographic data regarding its aging population, the low proportion of immigrants relative to the province's total population, and its low five-year immigrant retention rate, it is important to examine the factors that may lead these newcomers to leave New Brunswick. If nothing is done in this regard, there is a significant risk that New Brunswick will become merely a transit point for many immigrants. It is in this context that this article is fundamentally intended to understand these factors from the perspectives of managers and employees working in immigrant settlement agencies in the francophone part of New Brunswick. This study reveals three main factors that may explain the low retention rate of newcomers in this province. It highlights the need to focus not only on their economic integration but also on their social integration, particularly through the acquisition of cultural skills, within a broader perspective.
