Chapter two in the textbook Reflect & Relate an Introduction to Interpersonal Communication by Steven McCornack talks all about what “self” is and how to achieve complete fulfillment for one’s self which is also known as self-actualization. The components of self, as described in the book are, “ . . . self-awareness, self-concept, and self-esteem” (McCornack 39). Self-awareness is the idea in which one can take a moment to move feelings, beliefs, and other external influences aside and just evaluate oneself in a holistic perspective that is not skewed by opinions of others, etc. Having the ability to actually think about who one is brings a lot of power and mental stability in such a way that allows for improvement.

Effectiveness of Sex Offender Registries: Do They Reduce Recidivism? Sex offenders are commonly viewed as the worst of the worst in regards to criminal offenders. Their heinous actions instill a sense of fear among the victim and society at large. Following an offender’s release, regardless of their crime, there is a high likelihood that the offender will recidivate if they are not successfully integrated back into society. Specifically, it is often assumed that sex offenders are highly likely to recidivate and that they will continue to be perpetrators of sexual offenses.

There are many factors that make child abuse so dangerous with the child being harmed, incidents going unreported, confidentiality purposes, and in some cases rights of privacy. These factors have their own controversies and they have their own views.

In todays society, many civilians believe there is no, nor ever will be any hope to rehabilitate sex offenders. Little do they know criminologists, psychologists and researchers have found programs that prevent recidivism from occurring. Today, there is hope to rehabilitate sex offenders with help of five different national sex offender programs. These programs include; High Intensity National Sex Offenders Program, Moderate Intensity National Sex Offenders Program, National Sex Offender Maintenance Program, Tupiq Program for Inuit Men Offenders, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. These programs are shown to have achieved great success, and will be further assessed throughout the essay.

Sex offenders are defined as an individual who has been convicted of a sexual assault. These assaults include but no limited to rape, pedophiles, child sexual abuse, sodomy, sexual abuse, and non-contact sexual offense (“Sex Offender Law & Legal Definition,” 2001). This population is also considered special offenders.

“There are 400,000 registered sex offenders in the United States, and an estimated 80 to 100,000 of them are missing. They 're supposed to be registered, but we don 't know where they are and we don 't know where they 're living” (Ernie Allen 2005). Managing high-risk sex offender 's in communities gives people warning of their surroundings. The child death could have been avoided by a simple notification to the parent to let them know it is a sex offender in the surrounding area. Megan’s death could have been avoided by a simple notification to her parents informing them that it is a sex offender in the surrounding area.

The needs evaluation found that the data does not support that sexual crimes are the cause of an increase in incarceration populations.

All grown-up male sex offenders in prisons might volunteer for the system. In view of the long holding up rundown, most offenders enter treatment just when they are inside of year and a half of discharge. Offenders are relied upon to keep accepting treatment subsequent to surrendering prison for over to three years through aftercare programs accessible all through the state. A number of the sex offenders don 't volunteer to take an interest in treatment, despite the fact that DOC has contracted more sex guilty party specialists and is giving more information about theprogram to offenders in an effort to increase participation.

Male offenders were found to be more likely than women to rely on substances (West 733). It can be established that women and men’s offenses are comparable. Although this is true, society fails to acknowledge women and men sex offenders with the same attitude. Society has set the gender role of an older woman seducing a teenage boy as a rite of passage rather than a sexual offense

Overview Recidivism in sex offenders returning to the community consistently remains a constant concern for society. Recent studies have directed in the direction of guidelines for professionals evaluating sex offenders with exclusive attention on identifying sexual recidivism as a whole. Clinicians must approach sex offender testing with caution; there is not an exact method of predicting sexually deviant behavior with 100 percent accuracy. However, multiple assessments have demonstrated the ability to identify and predict erotic deviant behavior (DeClue & Zavodny, 2014).
