Preferred term

sex offender programs  

Definition

  • The assessment, treatment, and supervision of sex offenders is perhaps the most controversial of all correctional endeavors. Few people in society do not feel revulsion when such issues are raised and, as a consequence, it has been easy for the general public to be convinced that sex offenders are untreatable or even beyond redemption.
