Abstract
The use of sex offender treatment programmes has developed and expanded enormously in recent decades such that they are now used routinely in many countries and in some they have become an integral part of the countries' criminal justice systems' responses to sex offenders. For example, in England and Wales all offenders who are sentenced for a sexual offence and who have time to complete a treatment programme are assessed for their suitability for this form of intervention and to determine which programme(s) they should complete.
