“…Instead, we are seeing that inclusion IN treatment programmes is being determined not by their offence but instead by level of anti-sociality, any co-morbidities and risk of re-offending [69][70][71]. This emphasises that rehabilitation needs to be bespoke to the individual [72][73][74][75][76]. However, paradoxically, we see punitive criminal justice policies, often replicated internationally [3,15,46,77], that run contrary to the desistance and harm reduction messages of rehabilitation [28••].…”

“…In recent years, we have seen continued growth in strengthsbased approach to the treatment and rehabilitation of people convicted of a sexual offence, with increased focus on the Good Lives Model and pro-social inclusion [1, 12••, 63••, 64,65,[72][73][74]. The strengths-based approach to rehabilitation reinforces that rehabilitation is a process rather than an outcome [28••].…”

“…Community management policies are impacted by Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) related to the criminal justice organisations, charities, and non-government organizations that must execute them. Generally, success is measured in terms of "re-conviction" rather than "reoffending" [119,120] or "harm reduction" [74,102,121]. This is problematic because someone can re-offend and not get caught.…”

Purpose of Review We are reviewing recent research into the community integration of men convicted of a sexual offence and their (risk) management. This is a high-profile political issue that binds together research in psychology, criminology, politics, health, public health, and policy studies. The review will demonstrate that a multi-disciplinary, life course, EpiCrim-oriented approach is the most effective way of reducing re-offending and promoting desistance in this population. Recent Findings Research demonstrates that life course development, especially from psychology and criminology, has an impact on whether people sexually offend or not. Therefore, to understand sexual offending behaviour, we need to look at the aetiology of said behaviour from a nature and a nurture perspective. Therefore, we need to use an Epidemiological Criminology (a marriage of Public Health and criminology) approach that works at all four stages of the Socio-Ecological Model (SEM) (individual, interrelationship, community, and societal). The research encourages a person first approach, that we look at Adverse Childhood Experiences and past trauma in the lives of men who sexually offend and use this, in conjunction with strength-based approaches, to inclusively integrate them into society. Summary The prevention of sexual offending, both first time offending, and relapse prevention require a multi-level, multi-disciplinary approach. Successful desistance from sexual offending is as much about the community and society as it is about the individual.

“…To the best of my knowledge, this was the first study which aimed to directly investigate the effect of maladaptive personality traits, in particular antisocial, borderline, and psychopathic traits, on the negative relationship between early life trauma and treatment progress for men with a history of violent offending. Contributions to the NZ forensic psychology research field have been significant and are continuously growing (e.g., Fortune et al, 2014;Heffernan & Ward, 2019;Polaschek, 2019;Tamatea & Day, 2019), though NZ correctional practices are largely informed by the international research (i.e., Risk, Need, and Responsivity Model; Bonta & Andrews, 2017). Therefore, this study, based on a large NZ forensic sample, contributes to a better understanding of high-risk men with a history of violent offences and their rehabilitation.…”

The Role of Personality Factors in Childhood Traumatic Events’ Impact on Treatment Progress

<p>Attrition rates in rehabilitative programmes for violent behaviour are concerning as exiting from treatment may have implications for individuals (e.g., further offending, diminished quality of life), the organisation providing the treatment (e.g., cost, ineffectiveness), and for the society (e.g., safety, trust in the criminal justice system). Therefore, it is necessary to consider factors that may hinder the progress and completion of the treatment of violent offending. This study aimed to extend Te Hiwi's (2020) findings on negative relationship between childhood traumatic events and treatment outcomes, by exploring the role of maladaptive personality traits in this relationship. The study was based on retrospective, file-based data of 417 men who attended the high-intensity rehabilitation programme in New Zealand. Binomial and logistic regression models predicting treatment progress and outcome as well as a structural equation model showed that maladaptive personality traits – antisocial, borderline, and psychopathic – had overall no significant role in the relationship between trauma and treatment progress, despite men who were high on psychopathic traits being less likely to complete the treatment. Traumatic childhood events had a negative impact on treatment progress. In addition, treatment progress in the presence of all types of trauma was a less frequent pattern configuration than statistically expected. These findings reiterate the need for further research on the underlying mechanisms in the relationship between childhood trauma and treatment of violent offending, and self-regulation was suggested as one such mechanism.</p>
