The Treatment of Sex Offenders

What Does The Outcome Data Tell Us? A Reply to Quinsey, Harris, Rice, and Lalumière

Queen's University

Quinsey, Harris, Rice, and Lalumière's conclusions that treatment for sex offenders has not been shown to be effective is challenged, as is their demand for evidence based on random-design outcome research. This author believes that the evidence is at least very encouraging regarding the effectiveness of treatment and that there is a need to create a climate that encourages treatment providers to publish outcome data. It is believed that the proposals of Quinsey, Harris, Rice, and Lalumière will discourage such efforts.
