Criminologists ought to always remain conscious of the element that the statistically great rates of recidivism between the actual sexual predators result in the impression that those committing the deeds of sexual predators are mentally ill. This results in to some degree that remains incessantly in the psyche of the offenders just like those of the victims and they ought to be regarded as such. In the event of a rehabilitation process, there must be a system of transition the prison to the lesser institution which is the mental institution (Vito & Maahs 2015).

The change can be linked to a half-way house or the like. The process of rehabilitation in jail may not be beneficial as a result of the large population of inmates including doctor specialties. The prison doctors tend to be lesser qualified in dealing with offenders of sexual predators. The commitment of sexual predators to mental institutions should, however, be viewed to be of benefit to the general security of the public and not treatment to the lawbreaker. It is agreed that the function of the statute is for punishment (Clinard et’al, 2014). Whether the goal of these regulations is for public safety or discipline or a mixture of both, the systems for mental health should not be used for the purposes.
