Treatment and Risk Assessment of Sexual Offenders

Treatment and risk assessment of sexual offenders involve evaluating individuals to understand their behavior and potential for reoffending. Treatment aims to address underlying issues, promote accountability, and reduce the likelihood of future offenses through therapy and interventions. Risk assessment uses specialized tools and judgment to estimate the likelihood of reoffending, considering factors like criminal history, behavior patterns, and psychological traits. Together, these processes help professionals make informed decisions about supervision, management, and prevention strategies, aiming to protect public safety while supporting offender rehabilitation.
