Rehabilitation of child molesters: a cost-benefit analysis
Am J Orthopsychiatry.
1990 Jan.
Abstract
This study examined the cost effectiveness of the rehabilitation of child molesters by designing and testing a cost-benefit model. The model uses program and reoffense data from a treatment center for offenders and costs derived from averaged figures obtained from state agencies. Results of the analysis, as well as related policy issues, are discussed.
