Treated Sex Offenders as "Paraprofessional" Co-Workers in the Treatment of the Sex Offender
Hossack, Alex; Robinson, Julie
Journal of Sexual Aggression, v11 n1 p103-113 Jan 2005
This paper will briefly review the utilization of the paraprofessional in a community-based sex offender treatment programme in Merseyside, UK. The paraprofessionals are treated paedophiles in the role of treatment co-facilitators. Further thoughts on the role dynamic, training issues and supervision are discussed. This is an example of service-user involvement in practice. (Contains 4 figures.)
