Human rights create a protective zone around persons and allow them the opportunity to further their own valued personal projects without interference from others. All human beings hold human rights and that includes sex offenders, although some of their freedom rights may be legitimately curtailed by the State. In this paper we apply the concept of human rights to sex offenders. First we briefly analyze the concept of human rights, their structure, and justification. Second, we apply our own model of human rights to the assessment and treatment of sex offenders. We conclude that a significant advantage of a human rights approach is that it is able to integrate the value and capability aspects of offender treatment.
人权为个人营造了一个保护圈,使他们有机会推进自身珍视的个人计划,而不受他人干扰。所有人都享有人权,这其中包括性犯罪者,尽管他们的某些自由权利可能会被国家合理地限制。在本文中,我们将人权概念应用于性犯罪者。首先,我们简要分析人权的概念、其结构及正当理由。其次,我们将自己的人权模式应用于性犯罪者的评估与治疗。我们得出的结论是,人权方法的一个显著优势在于它能够整合犯罪者治疗中的价值和能力方面。
