The implementation of drug courts has been touted as a success in their attempt to deal with the offenders’ underlying addictions through mandatory treatment. Based on the success of drug courts, it is strongly believed that the utilization of specialized sex offender courts to address sex offenders’ underlying addictions through treatment and graduated levels of community supervision could be as effective. It is recommended that specialized sex offender courts be based upon the therapeutic jurisprudence approach used in drug courts and other problem-solving courts. It is also imperative that all actors in the courtroom work group, such as judges, attorneys, psychiatrists, and probation and parole officers be trained to understand issues unique to sex offenders. Elements involved in a successful and effective sex offender court include: (1) an understanding that the judge’s role is the most important; (2) the forming of behavioral contracts; (3) a continual assessment of risk; (4) the necessity of a polygraph assessment; (5) updating risk level for registry; (6) and relapse prevention. By applying many of the same fundamentals to sex offenders, as to drug offenders, the hope is that these individuals, given the opportunity, can become productive citizens.
