Title: An Exploratory Study of the Experiences of a Small Sample of Men Convicted of Sexual Offences who have Reoffended after Participating in Prison-Based Treatment

Summary: The aim of the present study was to explore the experiences of individuals who have committed sexual offences and subsequently reoffended after participation on a Sex Offender Treatment Programme (SOTP). In-depth interviews were conducted between March and July 2015 with six men who had been convicted of a sexual offence, had completed an SOTP on their prison sentence (between 2001 and 2010), and who had then gone on to reoffend with a further sexual offence. The interviews were analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA; Smith, 2008). Nine higher order themes emerged. The use of a small sample size means that the findings may not be generalizable to a wider population, and as such, the findings should be treated with some caution. The emergent themes are discussed in relation to the wider desistance literature, and preliminary suggestions are made which may enhance the outcomes that can be made from attendance on a prison based treatment programme. Consideration of the wider support structures, which would be of benefit to this group, are also highlighted, along with the issues associated with labeling and signalling (Maruna, 2012).
