7 The Strengths <strong>of</strong> <strong>Treatment</strong> for <strong>Sex</strong>ual Offending 171 In this chapter, we have argued that some aspects <strong>of</strong> current sexual <strong>of</strong>fending programmes could be described as evidence informed, although few can be termed “evidence based”. The mixed findings for treatment effectiveness likely reflect a combination <strong>of</strong> poor quality studies, programme aims or techniques that lack internal coherence or consistency (e.g. a mixture <strong>of</strong> rehabilitative and punitive aims), weak adherence to the RNR model and the iatrogenic effect <strong>of</strong> hostile cultures outside the treatment environment. These issues vary in the extent to which they are in the control <strong>of</strong> treatment providers. The content <strong>of</strong> treatment programmes is obviously important but is not the only thing that determines whether a person convicted <strong>of</strong> a sexual <strong>of</strong>fence is likely to desist from further <strong>of</strong>fending. Our aim in this chapter was to consider what aspects <strong>of</strong> current or typical sexual <strong>of</strong>fending programmes can be considered evidence based or, at a minimum, evidence informed. Our summary shows that it is possible to select appropriate targets for a treatment programme based on robust research. However, effective treatment methods and techniques have been less robustly established or, in some cases, not established at all. It is not possible to conclude that treatment programmes for people convicted <strong>of</strong> sexual <strong>of</strong>fences constitute evidence-based practice, yet, but the jigsaw is being assembled. To ensure that sexual <strong>of</strong>fending treatment is as strong as it can be, we must continue to research our practice, evaluate our efforts and be prepared to adjust our approach when evidence indicates this is necessary.
