Expert group

Sex Offender Management

The Sex Offender Expert Group has been established in February 2012 to improve coordination and cooperation between CEP members for probation practice development with sexual offenders across Europe. Today it provides opportunity for lead experts of CEP members to meet and discuss further development of work with this unique and challenging target group of probation clients. During meetings information on best practice is shared and contacts with devoted experts from other jurisdictions are established.

General information

The group

The Expert Group was an advisory body of CEP and developed initiatives for various international events for CEP members, like seminars and conferences to promote more efficient work with sexual offenders and to keep our communities safe.

The group operated until 2023 when the new Expert Group on Gender-based violence was launched.

Our knowledge of Sexual Offenders

The reintegration of sex offenders usually causes a lot of commotion. They are unwelcome in every community. However, the recidivism rate of sex offenders in general is considerably lower than other types of offenders. The reaction of the criminal justice systems to sex offending in Europe varies greatly. CEP aims to share experiences between CEP-members and to produce an overview of the assessment tools, risk management, treatment and other interventions for sex offenders across the different probation organisations throughout Europe.
