Area of Science:

- Sexology
- Criminal Justice
Context:
- Analysis of the Czech model for treating criminal sexual deviants.
- Evaluation of therapeutic results and associated challenges.
Purpose:
- To examine the advantages and disadvantages of the Czech approach to imposed treatment for sexual offenders.
