Estimated recidivism rates of these offenders are compared with the rates of a group of released sex offenders who did not receive sex offender treatment during incarceration. Recidivism is defined as a re-arrest for a felony offense, and is grouped into one of three categories: sex offense, violent offense, and non-violent offense. In order to be selected for the treatment program, sex offenders must meet the following four requirements: - Voluntary participation - An I.Q. of 80 or above - Admission of guilt - At least one year remaining in prison Because of these requirements, there may be significant differences between the treatment group and the comparison group that result from the selection process and are unrelated to the effects of the SOTP.

Author: Yeoman, Kjartan Orn Title: Recividism among Icelandic Prison Inmates Released in 2009-2011 Summary: Countries that expect inmates to return to the community after serving their sentence in prison aim to reduce recidivism. The purpose of this study is to evaluate recidivism rates among inmates who are released from security prisons compared to prisoners released from halfway houses. The study consisted of 322 Icelandic male prisoners that were released back to the community in 2009-2011 after serving a sentence in Iceland and their progress followed up for a two year period. The results show that those who finished their sentence at a halfway house had lower recidivism rates than those who served all their sentence in prison. The mean age was lower among those who recidivated and there was a difference in recidivism rates between offence categories. There were no significant differences in recidivism rates with regard to the number of prior incarcerations. These results could therefore have implications for the Icelandic prison system and future research in the field of forensic psychology. Details: Reykjavik, Iceland: Reykjavik University, 2015. 17p.
