The recommendation acknowledges that sexual offences cause significant and lasting harm to victims and their immediate environment and that it is vital to reduce sexual reoffending through targeted risk assessment and individualised treatment and intervention plans, in order to achieve successful social reintegration.

The recommendation contains a set of guidelines addressed to the national authorities, in the first place to the prison and probation services, to help them review their legislation, policies and practice as necessary.
