The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to investigate the effects of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) on sexual recidivism risk in a Swedish sample of incarcerated men convicted of sexual offenses. The main question it aims to answer is: Does the CBT program CONSENT reduce the risk of recidivism in sexual offenses among males convicted of sexual offending? The CONSENT program, specifically targeting risk factors for sexual recidivism, will be compared with a waiting list. The evaluation will focus on potential change in dynamic risk factors for sexual recidivism. The study is part of the project Preventing Sexual Abuse: CBT Programs for Convicted Men and Women in a Correctional Setting.
