摘要
This ethnography of a prison treatment programme for sex offenders examines the meaning of rehabilitation in the context of the 'new penology'. As it explores how cognitive-behaviourism structures treatment, it uncovers a therapeutics grounded in risk that actively constructs the identity of the sex offender. It shows how the management of risk relies on techniques of introspection and self-discipline-a patient's internalization of his crime cycle and relapse prevention plan-that target primarily sexual fantasies. These self-policing techniques radically transform the sex offender into a species entirely consumed by sex.
