              This handbook is designed to assist policymakers and
practitioners in the process of assessing and strengthening their
adult and juvenile sex offender management approaches.
Abstract
              Section one of the handbook provides an overview of sex offenders and their management and summarizes current research and
promising practices that are emerging in communities across the
Nation. The second section describes a framework for the planning and implementation process. The three central components of the framework are the collaborative team, the team's vision, and the team's mission. This section discusses why each element  is essential and provides teamwork activities to help in
establishing the team and creating vision and mission statements.
In describing the planning and implementation process, section
three presents five steps: developing an understanding of the
jurisdiction's current sex offender management practices;
developing an understanding of research and emerging practice in
the field of sex offender management; assessing the gaps in
current practice; identifying goals and objectives to address the
most significant gaps; and implementing changes to meet goals and monitor the impact of those changes. The concluding section
summarizes the information from the previous sections, advising
that the planning and implementation of an approach for managing sex offenders is a deliberate process that attends to the collection and analysis of the information that is key to sound
decision-making, the formulation of a plan to implement the goals
deemed to be of greatest importance, and the monitoring of their outcome. 15 exhibits, 155 references and resources, and appended sample juvenile offender data collection instrument
