Treatment for Adult Sex Offenders: Technical Report Summary: In the United States (U.S.), more than 30,000 sex offenders participate in court mandated treatment programs annually (McGrath, Cumming, Burchard, Zeoli, & Ellerby, 2009). Offenders are required to participant in treatment for a range of offenses, including lewdness, exhibitionism, sexual assault, sexual abuse of a child, sodomy, and rape. Treatment is provided in both secure and community-based settings and falls, broadly, into the following categories: psychological interventions; drug therapies, either for the purposes of castration or psychological treatment; surgical castration; and educational programming. The majority of sex offender treatment programs rely on group-based, cognitive behavioral approaches grounded in social learning theories (Center for Sex Offender Management (CSOM), 2006). The most common treatment targets are victim empathy (87% secure, 93% community), denial (91% secure, 92% community), and intimacy/relationship skills (84% secure, 91% community) (McGrath et al., 2009). More recently, interventions are structured according to the principles of effective correctional services, which matches offenders to treatment based on their risk-level, criminogenic needs, and learning styles (Andrews & Bonta, 2006; Andrews et al., 2001; Bonta, 2001). In the U.S., interventions provided in secure settings range from five months to four years while community-based programs using treatment approaches last anywhere from eight months to the duration of the offender’s life (Daly, 2008). The majority of states that employ community-based approaches use strategies that build upon prison-based programming. Details: Salt Lake City: Utah Criminal Justice Center, 2012. 14p.
