Update: 2016-05-11
Description
Probation departments within the U.S. criminal justice system use a variety of means to monitor and treat sex offenders --- with many probation departments coordinating probation supervision with the work of therapists specializing in treating sexual offenders. This paper is a qualitative description of the probation and treatment systems supervising and treating sex offenders in two major U.S. metropolitan areas. Analyses revealed several general themes related to collaboration between the two professional groups as well as frustrations related to current actuarial tools, attitudes about sex offenders and frustrations that interfere with collaboration. Nick Newstrom is a research associate working on the project Sex Offender Treatment and Intervention Process Scale Implementation Evaluation project funded by the National Institutes of Justice of the Department of Justice (Michael Miner, PhD, principal investigator).

This experience has served to guide his research interests in how family systems deal with atypical sexuality issues.
