The Varied Dimensions of Law, Policy, and Treatment of Convicted Sex Offenders

A Review and Synthesis of Three Titles

Scott R. Senjo

Weber State University, Ogden, Utah

A seemingly endless struggle continues to exist over policy prescriptions for convicted sex offenders. The oversimplified answer is to enact more punitive measures, however futile they may be, to appease a misinformed populace. This review essay looks at three titles that examine the policy justifications for sex offenders and explain the expensive and irrational measures taken in both American and British society to try to gain some control over this class of criminal and mental health cases.

Key Words: sex crimes • sex offenders • civil commitment • policy implementation
