520 _aThis brief covers adult offenders aged 18 and over who offend sexually against children (child sex offenders) and/or against other adults. In New Zealand, the Department of Corrections (Corrections) provides treatment for child sex offenders in its special treatment units at Rolleston Prison (Christchurch) and Auckland Prison. Corrections also funds providers to deliver its child sex offender treatment programme in community settings. Eight international meta-analyses found that sex offender treatment for adults reduces recorded sexual reoffending against children and adults, as well as general reoffending, both of which are typically measured as rearrest or reconviction. New Zealand studies have found that child sex offender treatment is effective in this country. For example, a 2012 study found that fewer child sex offenders were charged with a new sexual offence (7%) than would be expected (10%) had they not received treatment. One challenge is that recorded reoffending is not an accurate measure of the extent of sexual reoffending because these offences are under-reported and many reported cases do not proceed to conviction.
