Abstract

This chapter describes a literature search that was performed to review publications on the effectiveness or outcome of cognitive-behavioral treatment programs for violent and sexually violent offenders. The review aimed to identify factors and conditions that contribute to a decrease in recidivism rate. Many programs have been evaluated with a broad group of offenders, whereas other programs focus on specific subgroups of offenders such as sex offenders, domestically violent offenders, and addicted offenders. However, the literature on the effects of cognitive-behavioral group treatment programs for violent offenders is limited. Based on the literature consulted, criteria or standards for treatment programs are presented that may contribute to a relatively lower rate of recidivism for both violent and sexually violent offenders.
