Feb 21, 2023 · Sex Offender Recidivism Is Not Limited to Sexual Recidivism. Because it has been assumed that recidivism among individuals convicted of a sex crime reflects a specific predisposition for sexual offenses (see Guttmacher & Weinhofen, 1952), research on SOR has traditionally been focused on this group.

Meta-analyses have shown that the underlying theory, principles, dosage, and modality of treatment are associated with differences in treatment outcomes. For example, psychological programs that adhere to the risk (i.e., match treatment intensity to risk level), need (i.e., prioritize dynamic risk factors, aka criminogenic needs, for intervention),...
Only one meta-analysis to date has directly examined the impact of program content on treatment outcomes. Gannon et al. specifically examined whether the inclusion of behavioral reconditioning procedures for inappropriate sexual arousal impacted treatment effectiveness [5••]. Programs that included some form of behavioral reconditioning (k = 23) we...
Due to the pressures associated with providing specialist treatments on a large scale and at a low cost, paraprofessionals have been increasingly used to deliver offense-specific psychological interventions as opposed to qualified psychologists, with the latter moving towards a “hands-off” monitoring or supervisory role in some jurisdictions [27, 2...
Given that treatment for sexual offending is delivered across a range of contexts (e.g., prisons, therapeutic communities, secure mental health hospitals, and community settings), it is unsurprising that treatment setting has been considered a potential moderating factor. Unlike other moderators that have been discussed so far, research findings re...

Dec 5, 2021 · To begin, in an update to their previous meta-analysis (Schmucker & Lösel, 2008), Schmucker and Lösel (2015) found significantly lower sexual recidivism rates for treated offenders (10.1%) as compared to controls (13.7%) as well as a positive impact on general recidivism (29 comparisons).
Aug 19, 2015 · Drawing on a sample of 29 rather well-controlled comparisons, the results suggest that treatment can effectively reduce recidivism in sexual offenders. The present mean effect in sexual recidivism is smaller than the one we found in our previous meta-analysis, which included 80 comparisons, many of which contained non-equivalent untreated ...
