Abstract
The author's observations during a study tour of several Australian states in 1994 and experience within the New Zealand criminal justice system provide the material for an overview of sexual abuser treatment services. A number of examples of prison and community‐based programmes in both countries are described and common features are identified. Several emergent issues are discussed, including models and approaches employed, resourcing of programmes, group composition, and the integration of treatment services into criminal justice systems. Conclusions regarding the development of treatment services address the need for increased attention to community‐based programmes and the importance of research into the effectiveness of such interventions.
