Sexual offences are a heterogeneous group of offences that entail very different diagnostic categories relevant for key issues of expert assessment. Sexual offender trials usually deal with issues related to (diminished) responsibility and the necessity of a referral to a forensic psychiatric hospital ( section sign 63 StGB, German penal code). Furthermore, risk assessment is seen as a necessary precondition for relapse prevention and consequently, it forms part of any expert assessment in sex offender trials. In terms of treatment, manualized treatment programs prevail. Usually they lend themselves to psycho-educative, cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic concepts. Notwithstanding the focus of any individual program, core elements of all programs pertain to offence related (e.g., victim empathy, attitudes and individual values, minimizations, etc.) and more general psychotherapy modules (anger management, substance abuse, social skills training, etc.). Advantages and disadvantages of these programs are named and discussed.
