This systematic review examines the perspectives of victim-survivors, family members, and professionals (VFP's) on the reintegration of men convicted of sexual offenses into the community. A search of 8 databases identified 8,621 potential sources. After screening, 36 studies were included in the review. Papers were included if they used qualitative methods about VFP's views, attitudes, opinions, and/or perceptions on the reintegration of adult males who have sexually offended, from prison or secure care. The papers were then critically appraised and thematically synthesized. The findings highlighted four key themes: supervision, discrimination, livelihood, and interventions. These themes revealed the complex and multifaceted nature of reintegration, where varying perspectives highlighted a balance between public safety concerns, the potential for rehabilitation, and the profound social and emotional implications for those directly involved with the offenders. The implications for future research, and policy and practice, including support for families, professional training, and advocating for policy reform, are discussed.
本系统综述探讨了性犯罪定罪男性受害者幸存者、家庭成员和专业人员（VFP）对其重新融入社区的看法。对8个数据库的检索识别出8621个潜在来源。筛选后，36项研究纳入该综述。如果论文采用定性方法探讨VFP对成年男性性犯罪者从监狱或安全护理机构重新融入社会的观点、态度、意见和/或看法，则纳入该论文。然后对这些论文进行严格评估并进行主题综合分析。研究结果突出了四个关键主题：监督、歧视、生计和干预措施。这些主题揭示了重新融入社会的复杂性和多面性，不同观点强调了公共安全问题、改造潜力以及对直接涉及犯罪者的人产生的深刻社会和情感影响之间的平衡。讨论了对未来研究、政策和实践的影响，包括对家庭的支持、专业培训以及倡导政策改革。
