In a large recidivism study, sex offenders were followed for an average of four years and in some cases up to ten years. Bench and colleagues used discriminant analysis to identify predictors of impulse control. Impulse control is also primarily modulated by T. Therefore, T-reducing agents have been used to control pathological sexual behavior and to prevent recidivism in sex offenders since the 1920s.

The first documented attempts to treat sexually deviant behavior took place towards the end of the 19th century Laws and Marshall, 2003.

Offenders The general definition of recidivism is a new arrest, conviction, or return to prison. To decide which definition to choose, a number of factors are considered, including the particular research question, available data resources, resources, and length of the follow-up period. The aim of this article is to examine this hypothesis more closely. reviewing research on the effectiveness of sex offender treatment, focusing primarily on adult men. A discriminant analysis, Introduction. Sexual abuse and sexual crimes are high-level sociopolitical, political, media and community issues 1 - 3 that affect all levels of society and are present in all countries 4 - 9 . Since Years 10 and 11, arguably the major starting point for research into sexual abuse, we have seen several narratives emerge · Child sex offenders have high recidivism rates. Two contrasting arguments have been made regarding the propensity of child sex offenders to reoffend. In public and media discourse, child sex offenders are often presented as compulsive repeat offenders who are almost certain to reoffend. This article discusses the employment and housing barriers faced by RSOs, and how these barriers impact public safety. Current research that examines RSO risk levels, how they are obtained, and how they are managed is reviewed. According to Knight and Langan et al. 2003
