Recent research on sex offenses indicates that a deviant sexual interest is a characteristic of sex offenders that strongly predicts sexual recidivism. Research has also shown that anti-social tendencies are prevalent among sex and non-sex offenders and associated with sexual recidivism, violent recidivism, and other types of recidivism, while deficits in social skills, isolation, anxiety, and low self-esteem are important features of sex offenders possess but have little impact on recidivism. Findings from the current research suggest that the educational program to prevent re-offending by sex offenders in Japanese prisons should be improved. First, the prison staff ought to create a new course in which sex offenders learn how to control their deviant sexual interests. The new course should have as many sessions as the present self-management course because the course on deviant sexual interests is as important as the self-management course. Second, the educational staff in prison should implement the present self-management course to reduce anti-social tendencies as part of the educational program to prevent re-offending by sex offenders and also as part of other educational programs in prison. Third, the educational program to prevent re-offending by sex offenders should be re-organized and will consist of three courses, that is, a course on deviant sexual interests, a self-management course, and a new third course. Characteristics of sex offenders such as a deficit in social skills, isolation, anxiety, and low self-esteem will be improved by this new course.
