| Abstract
|
:
|
"In Protecting Society From Sexually Dangerous Offenders, legal and mental health experts analyze controversial new legal strategies adopted over the past decades to prevent sexual violence. The increasing number of sex crimes, especially those committed by released sex offenders against young victims, has struck a public nerve. Understandably, citizens are angry, vengeful, and fearful. The intense public demand for retaliation and protection has shaped law and public policy, resulting in the enactment of harsh measures designed to prevent convicted sex offenders from committing more sex crimes." "Psychologists and other mental health experts working with sexually dangerous offenders as well as lawyers, policymakers, and students in these fields will find this to be an indispensable book."--Jacket.
