Severe Personality Disorder

The MacLean Committee was established in 1999 by the Scottish Office to review and make recommendations concerning the sentencing of serious violent and sexual offenders, including those with personality disorder. It provides an alternative perspective on the problem of offenders with personality disorder to that of the Home Office and Department of Health (1999) for England and Wales.

Large Survey

In 1954 a large survey showed that exhibitionists accounted for about a third of recidivist sexual offenders in England and Wales (Radzinowicz, 1957). As less than 2 per cent of convicted sex offenders fall into the recidivist category, the numbers concerned are small: a matter of a few hundred only. However, their frequent reappearances in the Courts and psychiatric clinics result in their constituting a problem out of all proportion to their numbers.

Relevant Variables

Treatment efficacy is described for a sample of sexual offenders who had undertaken treatment in United Kingdom prisons (N = 647) and for a retrospectively selected comparison group (N = 1,910). The outcomes under observation in this study were sexual, sexual and/or violent, and general reconviction. Treatment impact was also examined in relation to offenders' risk of reconviction. The treatment group had slightly lower 2-year sexual reconviction rates than the comparison group, but these differences were not statistically significant. Significant differences were found between the treatment and comparison group for sexual and/or violent reconviction. Further analysis suggested that treatment produced a reduction in the probability of sexual and/or violent reconviction (p <. 05) when other relevant variables were controlled for. General reconviction rates were consistently lower in the treatment group, but these differences were not significant.
