Abstract

This article maps the development of a Quaker led residential Therapeutic Community that specialises in the treatment of young men who have sexually harmed. It details the theoretical model based on Rapoport's Four Cornerstones. The intervention model was evaluated using a longitudinal outcome research project spanning over 10 years. The researchers noted a substantial and dramatic reduction in sexual and non-sexual recidivism when the comparison group's outcomes were considered. The long-term life trajectories of the young people leaving the service led to further service development. Every young person completing the two year programme is offered an 18 month transitions service that is free at point of delivery.
