Assignment 7: Criminal Justice

From the three cases, I found that there are different special conditions pertaining to sex offenders should be imposed in order to make the offenders not repeat the mistake. For instance, the special condition in the first case is releasing the sex offender under the supervision of a parole officer to a community. Treatment programs and counseling on sex offenders should be imposed as special conditions to the people found guilty of the offense. Recommending some type of cognitive-behavioral treatment to sex offenders is another particular requirement that should be implemented. It is clear the above determined special conditions from the three cases, if well imposed on sex offenders, would help them enhance their ability to help themselves.

In addition, if the three special conditions are imposed to sex offenders, it can compel them avoid repeating the same mistakes in the future. For instance, releasing sex offenders under parole officer supervision is important because it will help ensure that offenders find a suitable place to live, seek treatment for any mental health issues, and stay out of trouble. Releasing sex offenders under the supervision of parole authorities will aid in their correction and rehabilitation, which will encourage them to accept change. Also, treatment and counseling as special conditions for sex offenders will help promote offender accountability and enhance public safety. With counseling and treatment programs, offenders will learn special strategies for stopping abusive behavior. Finally, my decision to choose the cognitive-behavioral treatment as a special condition to sex offenders it will decrease subsequent sex offenders' recidivism when it is well imposed on them.
