Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Beliefs that condone, justify, excuse, minimize, rationalize, or otherwise support sexual offending are called rape myths.

Cognitive biases refer to errors in thinking or judgments that can lead to incorrect conclusions or interpretations. Offender justifications and sexual offender philosophies are related concepts but do not specifically refer to beliefs that excuse or minimize sexual offending.
