Jailing sex offenders 'ineffective'
By Leslie Knight
Of the Emerald
Sex offenders can be treated
better in controlled or open com
munity therapy programs rather
than in prison, a Quaker minister
who has worked in prisons for 30
years said Friday.
"People need restraint, but that
doesn't mean they need incarcera
tion," Fay Knopp said during a
workshop titled "Remedial In
tervention in Sex Offenses." Only
a small percentage of sex of
fenders need to be in a very con
trolled environment, she said.
Rape and other sexual assaults
are "pseudo-sexual acts" that in
volve acting out of anger,
dominance and control through
sexuality, Knopp said. She said
these are learned behaviors that
sex offenders can be* reeducated
to c ontrol.
Advoc ating"remedies rather
than punishment," Knopp said
therapy programs take a variety of
forms. They can be used as a
substitute for imprisonment for
lesser offenses, a program for the
last two years of a person's
sentence, as well as an ongoing
program for people coming out of
prison.
Controlled therapy programs
might involve a separate wing of a
hospital where offenders are
restrained 24 hours a day. In open
programs, the offender comes in
for therapy, but otherwise is a
community member.
Knopp said therapists agree that
offenders who raped or used
violence are too risky for open
programs. Offenders who fit into
the category of less-threatening
offenses, such as exhibitionists or
voyeurs, are better off in therapy
than prison, she said.
"Whatever we do, we must con
sider the offender and his needs,
the victim and his or her needs,
and the community and its
needs," Knopp said. Imprison
ment without therapy does
nothing to change behavior, she
said.
Therapy programs around the
country focus on dealing with
anger and causes tor deviant
behavior. Knopp said a majority of
sex offenders were abused as
children and never learned an ap
propriate way to vent anger. This
is coupled with societal
stereotypes that portray the
woman as weak and passive, the
man as aggressive.
The sex offender unit at Oregon
State Hospital follows a strict
10-step program that involves
privileges and restrictions based
on behavior. The' objective's for
the'se' ste'ps inc lude> recognition by
the* offender of his de'viant
behavior, an understanding of its
cause and a firm commitment to
responsible be'havior, Knopp said.
The' se'x offender is "into cfenial,
manipulation and avoidance,"
when it comes to de'aling with his
offense, she said. This makes get
ting the offender to accept
responsibility for his actions one

of the most difficult aspects of
therapy, Knopp said.
In the Oregon State program,
they do this by having the of
fender act out his crime with a
lifesize doll and watch it played
back on videotape. He then has to
role-play the victim. This allows
the offender to identify with the
victim, instead of closing himself
off to emotion and pain, Knopp
said.
Knopp said these programs will
do tar more than impisonment
can to change the behavior of sex
offenders when they are back in
the community.
