Candid Expose of Offenders The NET sponsored half-hour program called “The Sexual Offender: Safe to be at Large?” has received good reviews from critics for its effort to dispel the popular myth that molesters “look evil,” and for bringing to public attention a subject that is taboo. The show centers on a group therapy session at a mental institution near Tacoma, revealing patients—as deeply dis¬ turbed by their uncontrollable behavior. It is implied that offenders can undergo a relearning process, perhaps be cured of criminally deviant behavior. KWSC, Wash¬ ington State University’s ETV produced the program.
