In some cases yes, in others, no.
You might just as well ask if burglars are ever fully rehabilitated, or car thieves, shoplifters, wife beaters, forgers, or fraudsters. The list is endless.
Some sex offenders are young at the time of offending and grow out of it. Some rapists through therapy come to understand that their actions spring from a desire to overpower and subdue and learn how to deal with their feelings. Even paedophiles can come to accept that their desire for children is wrong and must be diverted into healthy sexual activity with another adult.
Sex crimes are evil and wicked - no denying that. And some sex criminals - ditto: evil and wicked and no amount of therapy will change them.
But no, not all offenders. Some can be and are fully rehabilitated through therapy, support, education and diversion.

No I don't

My mother in law was attacked by a violent paedophile in the early 1970s when she was only 9 years old. He raped her and repeatedly stabbed her so violently in the abdomen that she was told she'd never walk again or have children, in fact he nearly killed her and the injuries she sustained still plague her to this day - at 44 she is registered disabled and faces being a wheelchair by the age 50, all because of this monster.

A week or so after he attacked my mother in law, he murdered a little 5 year old girl by slitting her throat.

He carried out several other attacks over the years and indeed was only caught a few years ago, after more than 34 years of violent sex attacks on children.

I'm sorry but the idea of this monster ever being rehabilitated or allowed to walk the streets makes me feel physically sick. I would be all in favour of the death penatly for this "thing" (I won't call himl an animal - thats an insult to animals).

How can anyone behave like that and be rehabilitated? I cannot beleive anyone could.

As always, this topic always stirs up a lot of emotion and people reply out of it without having done any research into the topic.

Do I think sex offenders are ever fully rehabilitated? That is probably a no as it will be a constant, every day battle for someone to make that conscious decision to not reoffend.

However, rehabilitation can help these people so they will not reoffend again. There are a number of studies which show that these types of psychological programs can reduce rates of sex offenses by 10-40%

Of course they aren't ever really rehabilitated.

Remember they have to live with the shame of having their name and location written down and having serious restrictions of what they can do with their lives. But also eventually people will find out what they have done and then they may have to be moved to a different place.

Sex offenders are 'managed'. Sometimes the 'management' works and they live their lives. Although some sex offenders do it again because the therapy hasn't worked effectively and they have been let out early because of their apparent good behaviour.

Define "sex offender"

In the UK, you could be "put on the register" for something as petty as making a risque comment to someone - or for some form a REAL sexual offence.

I do not think people's basic instincts change, no - however in the UK the tag of sex offender can be awarded for an ever increasing number of offences - some of which in most countries would be regarded as a "non-event"

It has reached such a wonderfully stupid level in the UK, that my sister - a gymnastics/athletics coach - has been warned that if a child is about to fall off the trampoline, then she should only make a grab for it if she can do so with her hands closed into a fist - otherwise she could be accused of attempting to molest a child.

You cannot have you life ruined letting a child fall and break its neck (other than presumably horrific guilt feelings) - but you COULD have you life ruined by being accused of making a "grab"

Stupid? Yup, the idiots ARE running the asylum - or would be if we hadn't closed them all down :)

If you Mean Real Sex Offenders as in Rapists, Chid molesters etc

Only if castrated or very old. Not much else seems to STOP the MALE sex drive!

Perversions are very difficult to cure, but easy to return to if the opportunity arises and how can you tell unless it is put to the test!
Which is why SO MANY re-offend! Supervision slips or the offender as been So Good (not difficult when their target group is unavailable - no women in a mans prison to rape)

Sentences for these crimes are pityful! The Victims are the ones who live with it every day of their lives whereas the culprits often dont even think they are doing wrong. We've all heard Rapists claim 'She asked for it' and 'No really means Yes'

i'm giving my answer to this question and also in response to an earlier answer (the answer given previously being-that some sex offenders can be rehabilitated, people that think they can't are prejudice n need to know about psychology before they make a decison). well i am in my final year of a criminology course in which criminal and forensic psychology is a big module. from my work i have come to the opinion that the majority of sex offenders cannot be fully rehbilitated, due to there ingrained need to commit the crimes. if they could be rehabilitated, why commit the crime in the first place? the sexual need and gratification they feel is going to be there whether they go through 'rehab' or not-there's no changin it. its like trying to turn a straight person gay and visa versa-can't be done.

Never!! If you were constantly attracted to, say blondes, for example...do you think that you could be rehabilitated from liking blondes, or would you always like them but just learn to do & say the right things about not liking them. Sex offenders have even more mental motivation to never quit. It gets them off. Big time. The thrill of what they do will always stay with them, and it's that thrill that you can never erase from their brains. It's what drives them even knowing they could end up in jail. Anyone who believes these sick individuals can be rehabilitated is deluded. And unfortunately their crimes are so heinous that the only thing that will help keep society safe is execution for the rapists & pedophiles. They are irredeemable.

properly it relies upon what form of criminal. Rapists etc of adults. properly that occurs usualy using a might desire to sense ability over the sufferer. So there's a thank you to rehabilitate them. baby intercourse offenders on the different hand is greater complicated. in the event that they have already acted upon their compulsions then no they could be helped while in the event that they admit they have a issue previously they do something to a baby then that's conceivable yet no longer a hundred pc useful.

the word sex offender can cover any thing from a 16 year old having sex with his 15 and a half year old girlfriend to the more and most serious offences, so this term is very generalised.. therefore this answer is directed at the most serious of these offences and offenders..NO
