Abstract

Sexual delinquency is a criminological phenomenon that covers a large part of media attention when these cases are revealed. However, public opinion does not know that the great majority of inmates for this type of crime get rehabilitated and reinserted. By representing only those more extreme cases, it is hard to believe that they present really low recidivism rates in comparison with general crime. Even so, when we turn on the television and read certain comments on social networks, they tend to criticize the decision of prison professionals and magistrates to let these offenders enjoy exit permits or third degree during the prison time. This project has identified the factors most used by the courts of Catalonia to confirm or revoke a third degree and what kind of guarantees they offer to the public, being the Specific Program of Intervention in Sexual Violence (SAC) the most evident but not the decisive one. An approximation of the sex offender in Catalan prisons has also been obtained, a subject between 35 and 45 years old, who is serving sentences of less than 10 years and tends to be a primary in prison and in criminal justice system.
