Abstract

This article addresses issues surrounding the organizational planning and evaluation of specialized sex offender treatment programs in secure correctional environments. The authors describe the problems of designing and establishing a therapy program in an anti-therapeutic environment and techniques for maintaining treatment integrity through the adoption of a structured planning and review process. Educating the public about program clientele and the development of relationships with local policymakers and community-based agencies through networking and public relations plays an influential role in the success or failure of any treatment program by ensuring the accuracy of information and preventing rumors regarding risk to the community. Program evaluation assists in the measurement of program efficacy, provides tangible proof of success or failure, and facilitates the improvement of programming and services.
