Circles of Support & Accountability: An Evaluation of the Pilot Project in South-Central Ontario

This report examines findings from an evaluation of the pilot Circles of Support &Accountability (COSA) project. COSA is a "coordinated approach to sexual offender reintegration" and has expanded internationally over ten years. Sections contained in this report include: executive summary; introduction; evaluation -- do circles work?; study one -- method; results according to core members, circle volunteers, and professional/agency members; discussion; study two -- method; results for demographic variables, time at risk, recidivism, and the area under the curve; discussion; and conclusion and future directions. "Overall, COSA participants have been responsible for considerably less sexual, violent, and general offending in comparison to their matched compatriots, ultimately contributing to savings both financially and, more importantly, in regard to human suffering" (p. ii).
