“Sexdömdas treatment is changed after new findings”

“Parts of the treatment used for sex offenders back 20 years can lead to increased risk of relapse, reports the Echo in the Radio. The prison service now make changes in the Relationship and samlevnadsprogrammet (Ros).”

“– It really is a greater portion that we take away and it is about empathy and understanding for the victims ‘situation,” says Martin Lardén, head of the Correctional treatment program.”

“A empatiövning that disappear from the Rosprogrammet is to sexualförbrytarna write a fictitious letter to a victim of crime.”

“We have no evidence that anyone has been hurt by it, but if we look at the state of the art in general, is this the kind of elements that have been proven to be associated with worse outcomes,” says Martin Lardén.”
