Refusers, dropouts, and completers: Measuring sex offender treatment efficacy
Article Abstract:
The sex offender treatment efficacy is analyzed and measured and a sex offender program delivered in a medium-security prison followed by 109 treatment completers and 37 noncompleters for 2 years after release. It was concluded that the program did not influence propensities for sexual and violent recidivism but rather served as a prolonged screening instrument for sex offenders whose failure to comply with treatment attendance predicted higher rates of recidivism.
