1New Zealand has one of the highest incidences of rape in the Western world. In the last six months of 1987 in Wellington City alone, 250 women reported to the rape crisis organisations that they had been sexually violated. Those convicted of rape are almost always jailed, but experts say that prisons, while a punishment, is not a cure and that rapists need treatment. Lawyer John Rowan is researching American sex treatment programmes to see whether these might have a role to play in the rehabilitation of offenders in New Zealand.
