title: [The interaction between the judge and doctors with court-ordered therapy].
abstract: Faced with the increase in convictions for sex offences, legislators in the 1990s studied the possibility of monitoring these criminals and offenders, considered to be among the most dangerous, following their imprisonment. This resulted in the law of 17th June 1998, establishing socio-judicial supervision. Inspired by several high-profile cases, the resulting changes to the legislation have reinforced judicial measures aimed at preventing repeat offending with regard to the most serious crimes. Socio-judicial supervision in particular is routinely ordered as part of certain safety measures while court-ordered therapy has become a cornerstone in the management of the most dangerous prisoners. An analysis of the connection between the judge and court-ordered therapy enables its role to be better understood.
