  2. Section 3 Management of Sex Offenders in the Community

  3. Section 3--Learning Objectives • Help communities understand “managing” sex offenders. • Inform communities about promising practices. • Discuss the potential roles of community members.

  4. Why do we need to talk about supervising sex offenders in the community? • Most end up released into the community. • Most are not under correctional supervision. • Some can be safely managed in the community. • Communities can help sex offenders reintegrate and thus prevent future victimization. • Helping sex offenders reintegrate into society helps the families (including possible victims) both financially and emotionally.

  5. Sex Offender Management Is: • Preventing Sexual Assaults by Known Offenders by: • Developing and supporting offenders’ internal controls; and • Establishing external controls over activities.

  6. A Comprehensive Approach to Sex Offenders: Focused on Victim and Community Safety Through the Internal and External Control of the Offender Supervision: Specialized Sex Offender Probation/Parole Treatment: Agents: Teaches self-control Monitor and limit and reinforces activities accountability Preventing the Sex Offender from committing future sexual assaults Community: Victim Advocate: Law Enforcement, Assesses impact on Polygraph Examiner, and victim(s) and potential Offender’s Employer, victims Family, and Friends

  7. What Is A Lapse? • “Stumble” or step in the wrong direction. • Not necessarily a reoffense. • A series of lapses may lead to reoffense. • A goal in treatment is to identify a sex offender’s lapse behavior to prevent a reoffense. • Close monitoring is essential in combination with treatment.

  8. A Victim-Centered Approach • Values public safety, victim protection, and reparation. • Assists victims and controls offenders. • Empowers victims. • Commitment by and coordination of key professionals. • Increases the likelihood that victims will report and receive assistance.
