Sexual Offences
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what the re-offending rate was of sex offenders who (a) attended and (b) did not attend the sexual offender treatment programme in each of the last five years.
- Answer
-
An analysis of the data on overall reconviction rates for sex offenders who attended and did not attend the sexual offender treatment programme is not available.Evaluations of the Sex Offender Treatment Programme provide evidence of a small but positive impact of the programme on future offending. For example, research found a statistically significant reduction in combined sexual and violent reconviction for HMPS SOTP participants compared to matched non-participants (although not for sexual reconviction) (Friendship, Mann & Beech, 2003). The National Offender Management Service is developing an evaluation strategy for the sex offender treatment programme.
