Sex Offender Denial

["Prescott y Keeler" <bc766@xxxxxxxx> ()]

Regarding denial not being a correlate with recidivism:

Two things are not being said about denial.

Denial can severely limit a sex offender's ability in treatment to fully
address those issues that correlate strongly with reoffense.

Secondly, if an offender is successful at denial it may well be also true
that they would score well on deception.  A low recidivism rate could be a
reflection of a high deceptive ability.
