Treatment of sexual offenders in an outpatient community-based program.
The components of a court-mandated outpatient treatment program in Florida for adult sex offenders are discussed. Selection and treatment factors are presented, in addition to the success rate, in terms of recidivism for program participants (N = 202) over a 5-year time span. This study is an extension of the 1989 work of Bingham and Piotrowski.
