Involvement in CoSA reduces the likelihood of reoffending, increases the chances of successful reintegration, and helps to keep communities safe. Rigorous peer-reviewed studies indicate that participation in CoSA reduces sexual recidivism (reoffence rate) by up to 88%, compared with control subjects who do not participate in CoSA.
An investment of one dollar in CoSA has a cost-benefit of $4.60 in savings to society in terms of justice system costs, medical expenses, loss of productivity, and pain and suffering.
