I have signed plenty of court ordered slips as a secretary and have seen many people continue to go after the court order was over and have lasting sobriety. These are all alcohol and drug related charges though. I do believe in treatment before criminalizing people. I am not sure about ordering to AA as at its foundation it is a voluntary program. It is effective though. What I have not heard of is pedophiles and sexual predators being ordered to AA. Of course anyone could join on their own for nefarious reasons and I don't know what a group could do about that other than really watch out for each other and call the police.
