How can mandated treatment be made to be more effective?
What will be an ideal response?
Mandated treatment has often been viewed as ineffective because of noncompliance. Many offenders do not want to be in treatment and are not truly motivated to change. However, attaching punitive sanctions for failure-to-comply with treatment can be effective as a treatment surveillance model (such as return to confinement). For sexual offenders, treatment is mandated over the long term. This serves as yet another vehicle for supervision of the offender, while at the same time addressing the pathological thinking and behavior that triggers repeat offending.
