Sexual Offenses and Offenders: Theory, Practice, and Policy (edit title)

Shelfari edited the description of Sexual Offenses and Offenders: Theory, Practice, and Policy Thursday, August 20 2009.

• This book is a comprehensive text on sexual offenders that examines the causes and treatment of sexual offenses, as well as the policy implications of research outcomes. The subject matter is inherently controversial, well-researched, and rich in policy implications. As a result of the recidivism and the public scorn for sexual offenders, they are often treated differently by both the community and the criminal justice system. It was necessary to develop a book on sex offenders because of the uniqueness of their offenses and the laws that pertain to them.
