“…For example, they suggested asking offenders to create a scene that depicted their victim's feelings followed by discussion. In practice working on victim empathy can often be combined with considering the consequences for the offender of further offending and this may account for the some studies suggesting that locus of control can become more external after treatment for some offenders with intellectual disability (Rose et al , 2002; Ford and Rose, 2010).…”

PurposeThis paper aims to explore treatment implications of the self‐regulation model (SRM) for sexual offenders with an intellectual disability in an effort to provide practical applications that could be employed in treatment.Design/methodology/approachThe SRM of sexual offending proposes that difficulties in self‐regulation may lead to an increased risk of sexual offending; describing four potential pathways to sexual offending that are based on self‐regulation style and offence‐related goals. Research has focussed on the application and implications of this theoretical model for mainstream sexual offenders. However, more recently, there has been an increasing interest into the application and treatment implications for the SRM for sexual offenders with an intellectual disability. This paper reviews literature on both the SRM and related work on offenders with intellectual disability.FindingsThe evidence reviewed supports the notion that the SRM is a valid theoretical model on which to base treatment programmes for people with intellectual disabilities and specific recommendations are made for the design of treatment programmes with this client group.Originality/valueIt is suggested that this model should be used when devising intervention programmes for people with intellectual disabilities in the future.
