Sentencing sex offenders: some implications of recent criminal justice policy

Article Abstract:

The development of a common approach to sentencing of sex offenders for courts and the prison/probation services has been hindered by recent criminal justice policy. The treatment needs of sentenced sex offenders have been neglected while more attention has been given to the wider goals of system objectives and political agendas. Suggestions for improving coherence and continuity in policy and practice include developing more custodial and noncustodial treatment options to deal with the different forms of sexually deviant behavior.
