From the Paper:

Incest offenders usually do not have long criminal histories before the current charges, and most are being convicted for the first time. They are the most minimizing and denying of the sexual offender sorts and will be adamant that it happened 'only once', that the child "propositioned" them, that alcohol was to blame, etc. Destroying this system of denial and twisted beliefs is necessary and can perhaps best be achieved in tandem with family-based therapy. Within a correctional institution setting, endeavors must be made to contact the family and/or social service networks dealing with the family so as to successfully face the offender
