Rates of recidivism for adult and juvenile child sex offenders as well as specific risk factors associated with recidivism are discussed. The article also presents an overview of the tests and assessment procedures used by psychologists. Where appropriate the case law on recidivism is examined. A composite case study is referred to throughout the article. The last part of the article covers a possible course of action for reintegration of the offender back into the family, where the case involves a CYF worker. The authors conclude that well-preparedness and being prepared to challenge the status quo may avert serious disaster for child clientele.
