Abstract:
ICCA recognizes that few crimes generate the same level of public concern as occurs with sexual offenses, and it joins the public at large, state and federal policymakers, and agencies of the criminal justice system in promoting a common goal to reduce victimization and to keep communities safe from sexual offenses. ICCA supports the significant advances that have been made in the field of sex offender management in recent years and notes that there are research-supported interventions and strategies that have been demonstrated to be effective in reducing sex offender risk and recidivism and in providing much greater protection to the public. ICCA supports continuing research on explicit evidence-based treatment approaches with this challenging population.Keywords: Sexual offenses, community safety, evidence-based treatment, rates of recidivism, shared living arrangements (SLAs)5
