Notes:	Polygraphy has in recent years been increasingly used in the treatment and supervision of community based sex offenders. In this context the polygraph has two main aims: to enhance treatment and to improve supervision. In terms of the former, it is claimed that polygraphy provides fuller and more accurate information about an offender's history, enabling treatment needs to be better identified and targeted. In respect of supervision, polygraphy is used to assist in monitoring behaviour and adherence to relapseprevention plans, with supporters arguing that it acts as a deterrent to reoffending. The research evidence provides support for some of the claims made by proponents, and in 2012 the United Kingdom (UK) government made polygraph testing mandatory for sex offenders in the community. Polygraphy could well have a place in the supervision and management of high risk offenders in Australia. Particularly so, when considering the development of statutory schemes, such as the Dangerous Prisoners (Sexual Offenders) Act (2003) in Queensland. This article provides an overview of recent advances in the use of polygraphy with sex offenders.
