Background information The Circles of Support and Accountability (COSA) model of reintegration inducts sexual offenders into mainstream thresholds of societal engagement. The initiative targets individuals who have undergone imprisonment for sex-related offences (Wilson, 2009). In most cases, it rehabilitates sex offenders into society through activities that restore their lost glory. Most sex offenders encounter difficulty as they strive to reintegrate and fit into society. Such challenges emanate from stigma that society ascribes to such patterns of behaviour. Participation is usually voluntary and does not suffice as a mandatory judicial requirement with regard to social offenders (Wilson, 2009). There has been extensive discourse regarding the overall essence and rationale for such programmes in social contexts. Proponents of such initiatives argue that they support restoration of justice and fairness in societal contexts. Prior to its initiation and propagation in Canada, there was national outcry regarding the plight of sexual offenders who had to reintegrate into society (Wilson, 2009). Criminologists cited numerous instances where sex offenders relapsed into crime after completing their term in prison. Such realities prompted establishment of a programme that sought to bridge disparities that manifested with regard to issues surrounding sex offences and restoration of justice in Canada (Wilson, 2009). Core members must exhibit willingness to revise existential parameters in order to establish new patterns of behaviour. Their voluntary involvement gives credence to the premise that anchors restoration of justice and reintegration into society. Society often views sex offenders with apprehension because of previous patterns of behaviour within social contexts (Wilson, 2009). In most cases, society fails to accept offenders into social agency. This reality leads them into self-destructive habits that ultimately drive them back into the turbulent world of crime. Most sex offenders encounter rejection and segregation due to negative perceptions regarding their past patterns of behaviour (Wilson, 2009). COSA reflects the recurrent desire for society to integrate and incorporate offenders into mainstream societal engagements. During its inception, critics relayed sceptical nuances to discredit efforts that geared towards incorporation and rehabilitation of sex offenders. They argued that such efforts would not bear fruits because such offenders are usually beyond repair and rehabilitation (Wilson, 2009). They sought to discourage proponents by casting doubts regarding pertinent areas such as funding, oversight, and regulation. However, it is important to note that this programme continues to record success due to numerous internal mechanisms that enhance activities and operations within various ranks that define its existence (Wilson, 2009). Essence and rationale for the programme As earlier mentioned, COSA relays assistance and guidance to sex offenders upon completion of terms in prison. In most cases, it targets habitual offenders who hold higher risk of recidivism (Wilson, 2009). However, it is important to note that such involvement is voluntary and does not suffice as judicial or statutory prerequisite for release or reintegration into society. On
