Commentary: Comment on Mailloux et al.'s (2003) study "Dosage of treatment to sexual offenders: Are we overprescribing?"
Article Abstract:
Mailloux et al. (2003) analyzed sexual offenders' participation in two correctional programs, the Cognitive Skills Program and the Offender Substance Abuse Prevention Program. The study show that the revised dosage levels do not at all support the idea that low-risk and low-needs sexual offenders are being over treated, nor do they fit with Mailloux et al.'s claim that moderate-risk and high-risk offenders are being under treated.
