A variety of biological, psychoanalytical and behavioural treatment strategies have been employed to treat sex offenders. Whilst these may produce short-term benefits, their efficacy in reducing long-term recidivism is uncertain. It is possible that treatment, as generally understood, is too ambitious an aim for this group of people and better results could be expected by employing a management strategy that includes treatment as well as life-long vigilant supervision. This can only be achieved if psychiatric services, which are used in continuing care, get involved in the management of sex offenders.
人们采用了多种生物学、精神分析和行为治疗策略来治疗性犯罪者。虽然这些策略可能会产生短期效果,但其在降低长期再犯率方面的疗效尚不确定。一般所理解的治疗对于这群人来说可能目标过高,通过采用一种包括治疗以及终身严密监管的管理策略,可能会取得更好的效果。只有在持续护理中使用的精神科服务参与到性犯罪者的管理中,这一点才能实现。
