Charities are warning that a shortage of places on treatment programmes for sex offenders will result in some prisoners reoffending. In 2012-13 there were around 11,000 sex offenders in prison in England and Wales but only 1,092 treatment programmes were completed. The Justice Ministry said the availability of programmes was increasing for "those most in need". One offender who did not have treatment has told the BBC he is still a risk. A report from the National Audit Office found that fewer sex offender treatment programmes are being provided in prisons. Last year's figure of 1,092 programmes delivered was above the target of 1,010. The target for 2013-14 is 886. The children's charity, the NSPCC, analysed prison inspection reports. It found that inspectors raised concerns about sex offender treatment provision in 22 prisons in England and Wales. Read More. |
