“…This may be more likely achieved through treatment delivery modalities that actively engage participants as opposed to merely increasing the threshold at which they are discharged. There is a growing body of literature informing clinical methods to address offender resistance and responsiveness before (Mann, Webster, Wakeling, & Keylock, 2013; Marshall, Marshall, Fernandez, Malcolm, & Moulden, 2008; Sheehan & Ware, 2012) and during treatment (for a recent review, see Holdsworth et al, 2014). Therapeutic process factors are likely to become increasingly critical to treatment success as changing operational performance policies relating to attrition influence target sample demographics by promoting the retention of more resistant, disruptive, or antisocial offenders in programs.…”

Retention of sex offenders to the completion of treatment is critical to program adherence to risk need responsivity (RNR) principles; however, it is also important to consider the potential interaction between attrition and treatment outcomes such as reoffending. The first aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of changes to treatment delivery in a residential sex offender treatment program (SOTP), including introduction of rolling groups and systematic emphasis on positive therapist characteristics, on likelihood of program noncompletion ( n = 652). Pooled regression modeling indicated that these operational interventions were associated with a significantly increased likelihood of program completion. We also examined whether variance in rates of participant attrition was related to reoffending outcomes for program completers ( n = 494). Incidence of attrition within completing participants' treatment cohorts had a significant negative association with hazard of sexual reoffending that was not accounted for by pretreatment risk. Results are discussed in terms of their implications for treatment delivery processes that aim to optimize both participant retention and treatment effectiveness.

This article describes the Rockwood Preparatory Program for sexual offenders. This program operates in the Millhaven induction center of the Correctional Service of Canada. Clients remain in the program for 6 to 8 weeks, depending on when they are placed in their home prison, where they will receive a full treatment program. The preparatory program takes a motivational approach, integrating several theoretical views and employing the therapeutic approaches that have been shown to maximize effectiveness with sexual offenders. The content and approach of the program are described and the observed benefits are outlined.
