Sex Offenders

Once you have chosen a program, define the program, and discuss the effectiveness of the program.
Sex Offenders People who commit sex crimes are known as sex offenders. We also define sex offenders as an individual who has confessed to, or been convicted of committing a sex crime, including rape, child molestation, and also downloading from the Internet or distributing child pornography. Laws against convicted sex offenders include the registration of all names in publicly accessed databases, the collection of DNA samples, State laws restricting where sex offenders can live and work, and the indefinite confinement of certain sex offenders to psychiatric centers after the completion of prison terms (Simpson, Dukehart & Chapman, 2010). They also offer treatment to sex offenders but we have to remember that treatment is voluntary, and offenders are most likely to be able to consider the value of treatment if they are in a prison where staff and other prisoners understand and can explain the nature of treatment (Ruth Mann, 2008). Note they said voluntary not mandatory. Sex offenders then have a choice which means that they can refuse it because they don’t have to. Sex Offender Treatment Programs (SOTP) treatment in this case will cost a lot of money to the government so better have other alternatives. Did they resolve the problem? Is the population safe now that we have these laws that require them to register or pay fines because we have to keep in mind that once they pay or after their time in prison, they will come out eventually? If those people need psychiatric help, it means that they are mentally ill and by that, we cannot let them out. The government needs to have stricter methods because we cannot allow crazies to live with “normal people”. We also have to remember that some people really do not care about paying fines and keep on doing the same thing after. For this reason, I think that we should come with more solutions
