Sec. 5. Legislative declaration. The General Assembly hereby declares
that the comprehensive evaluation, treatment, and management of sex offenders who are subject to the supervision of the
criminal or juvenile justice systems or mental health systems is
necessary in
order to work toward the
elimination of recidivism by such offenders. Therefore, the General Assembly hereby creates a program which assists in the education and training of parole, probation, law enforcement, treatment providers and others involved in the management of sex offenders. This program will standardize the evaluation, treatment, and management of sex offenders at each stage of the
criminal or juvenile justice systems or mental health systems so
that
those offenders will curtail
recidivistic behavior and the protection of victims and potential victims will
be enhanced. The General Assembly recognizes that some sex offenders
cannot or will not respond to counseling and that, in creating the program
described in this Act, the General Assembly does not intend to imply that
all sex offenders can be successful in treatment.
