Established in June 1997, the Center for Sex Offender Management's (CSOM) goal is to enhance public safety by preventing further victimization through improving the management of adult and juvenile sex offenders who are in the community. The Center for Sex Offender Management is sponsored by the Office of Justice Programs, U.S. Department of Justice. CSOM is administered through a cooperative agreement between OJP and the Center for Effective Public Policy.

Through this federal initiative, staff have been available to provide support to those working to prevent sexual victimization through the advancement of strategies to effectively manage adult and juvenile sex offenders. This has taken the form of preparing and disseminating policy papers, training curricula, articles for professional publications, and other written materials; technical assistance to jurisdictions interested in advancing their practices; and responding to queries and other information needs from professionals, the media, victims, offenders, and concerned citizens.
