Sammanfattning: Abstract Keywords: Sexual offenders, treatment, Kriminalvården, treaters What method of treatment that is the most efficient in order to prevent relapse in sexual crimes is a much discussed subject in today’s society. In science there is a controversy between the psychological perspective and that of bio medicine regarding choice of treatment. But how do the treaters feel about the methods they use in their field of work? The questions that we research in our dissertation are: What are and how do the different treatments look for those convicted of a crime of a sexual nature? What factors do the treaters think are behind the actions of the sex offenders? Do treaters have different opinions? If so, what choice of treatment to use for sex offenders? In the reserach there is a current discusion about which treatment is the most effective for the sexual offenders and to reduce the relapse of sexual crimes. We have chosen to use controversy theory since it explains so between the bio medicine and the psychological line of research. The street-level bureaucracy that gives an understanding of the difficulties you can face when working with sex offenders. We have put together a qualitative study based on interviews with six treaters; this along with earlier research is the main material for this dissertation. Cognitive behaviour therapy and psychodynamic thearapy are the most common treatment for sexual offenders in the prisons in Sweden, where they work with a treatment program named ROS program; however you can find a controversy among the workers in some areas of the treatment.
