Figure 20. Cost Allocation for Sex Offender Programs

A comparison of completions, drop outs, and administrative procedures for Sex Offender Programs for the 2006/2007 Fiscal Year. There was a substantial difference across sex offender programs with respect to the proportion of costs allocated towards successful program completion. While for the MI-SOP and the LI-SOP, successful completions made up approximately 90% of the allocated costs for each program, only 50% of costs for the Maintenance SOP and the Sex Offender Therapy Program for Women were associated with successful completions. However, in the latter two cases, the proportion of drop-outs were low to zero, while the vast majority of non-completions were due to population management (i.e., administrative issues such as the transfer or release of offenders).
