Opis

Treating Sex Offenders describes the development, theoretical underpinnings, treatment goals and operation of cognitive-behavioral and other programs to an audience unfamiliar with this form of rehabilitation. In addition, it examines the effectiveness of these programs and the difficulties associated with assessing this, the public response to treatment and also the effects on staff responsible for implementing them. The book is concerned particularly to assess the operation of sex offender treatment programs in the UK context, considering also the issues associated with implementing programs developed in other contexts, especially in the US and Canada.
