This paper addresses the under representation of Black and minority ethnic (BME) sex
offenders in the sex offender treatment programme (SOTP) of the prisons of England and
Wales. The proportional over representation of BME men in the male sex offender
population of the prisons of England and Wales has been noted for at least ten years.
Similarly the under representation of BME sex offenders in prison treatment programmes
has been a cause for concern during the last decade. This paper presents current
demographic data relating to male BME sex offenders in the prisons of England and
Wales. The paper draws together a wide range of social and cultural theories to develop a
tripartite model for understanding the dynamics underlying the non-participation of BME
